Autism is a neurotype. A neurotype is a type of brain, and the main change that it does is how the brain interprets and responds to social cues. The easiest way of describing an autistic person is just that their brain works slightly different. That’s all.
Also being ableist is stupid so please just try to think about what you say before you say it.
Autism is a spectrum. Not a functioning line. Not every autistic person is the same.
There are also a lot of common co-morbidities so lots of autistic people with have some other mental illness or disorder, like ADHD, anxiety or depression.
Written by an actual autistic person :)
some ableist bitch: “ew why are you autistic?”
an autistic person: “yeah like i can control what my neurotype is, it’s just autism, piss off.”

Autism is a highly misunderstood spectrum disorder. Many people think it is a disease but autistic people have made such a positive impact on our world. Greta Thunberg, Einstein and even Messi are rumoured to have/had it. i am autistic myself and i struggle with the problems it brings but i will get through it. Autism is not a disease.
Person 1: you have autism right?
Person 2: yeah ill change the world!!

What the Internet thinks: A disease that makes you permanently retarded.
Reality: A disorder of the brain present at or shortly after birth that makes socializing more difficult. People with autism appear to be socially awkward and tend to get overwhelmed easily (See "Sensory Overload). As tempting as it may be to poke fun at them, that is exactly what you SHOULDN'T do. All they want to be validated and understood by other people.
Being a disorder that affects the brain, there is no way to "fix" autism. But we don't need to. You can still live a normal, possibly highly successful life with autism. Many famous scientists were autistic, and even some singers such as Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane were autistic.
The only people who can understand autism are those who have autism.
April 2 is Autism Awareness Day in the US. Wear blue to show your support!
