Someone with neurodiversity as opposed to someone who is neurotypical. Not curable as it is not a diseases, virus, sickness or mental health issues. Not a result of trauma or poor upbringing as it is biological. There is a genetic aspect to it but a person can be autistic without having autistic relatives too. There is no specific way in which autistic people behave as autism just refers to a way in which the human brain can process information and function, personality is separate from that.
"I got diagnosed recently so now I know with certainty that I am autistic."
"This Instagram post, which is trying to be informative, is just pushing stereotypes about autism. Have they even asked looked at autistic support sites for actual facts about autism?"

Get the Autistic mug.I don't know much about the technicals of autism. I do know some autistic kids personally. The ones I know usually socially isolate themselves to some extent.
