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?

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!
