A neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impaired social skills and restricted interests or repetitive behavior. Symptoms usually begin in early childhood.
Although most people with autism spectrum disorder (people "on the spectrum") are functionally impaired, some thrive occupationally or academically, especially people with Asperger's syndrome, who have no delays in language development and/or IQ.
A common misconception is that people on the spectrum lack empathy, the affective part of empathy seems to be unimpaired compared to people without the condition. This means that people on the spectrum often have the capacity for compassion and morality.
Complications include bullying, unemployment (prevalence of about 90%), suicide and self-harm.
Treatment is limited and the efficacy of specific interventions has been disputed.
The heritability of the condition is about 90%. Specific environmental risk factors known to contribute to the condition include autoimmunity. Disproven environmental factors include vaccines.
Although the condition causes significant suffering for many, some have disputed the characterization as a disorder altogether, especially because the restricted interests commonly seen in the condition can include occupationally or socially useful subjects like math or physics. People on the spectrum often hyperfocus on their area of interest.
Several historical figures like Einstein are claimed to have been on the spectrum, these claims are unproven.
Autism spectrum disorder has a prevalence of about 1%.

The most fucking idiotic thing to do.
Autism has levels and using autism as an insult is actually not offensive but idiotic as fuck because there's levels of severity of autism. People with level 1 autism are actually usually smarter then people without it.

Term used by most karens of facebook, stating a thought that most vaccines cause autism, albeit with no citation.
Karen: *googles vaccines cause autism*
Google: Your search for "vaccines cause autism" did not match any documents.

A developmental disorder, usually diagnosed in childhood, where the person behaves in a distant manner and haves difficulties socializing. Some high functioning people with the condition are actually quite bright. The person with the condition is NOT retarded. In fact, as I said, some are quite bright.
High functioning autism is a developmental disorder.

A disease that’s very similar in nature to autism. However this form of autism is Canadian. Every Canuck is born with this disease. Canadian Autism can be spread in many ways: By eating Canadian bacon( another name for dried ham), consuming maple syrup as a beverage, or drinking milk from a bag. Canadian Autism can also be contracted from another Canadian(or another person with the disease) via physical contact or hearing them saying unintelligible phrases or sentences, like their usual “eh”. As of now, December 28th, 2018 there is no cure or treatment to Canadian Autism.
Noah offered me some bacon at the the Toronto Maple Leafs game. Unfortunately I didn’t know it was Canadian bacon and I contracted Canadian Autism.
