Autism, more correctly referred to in the DSM 5 as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental disorder characterized by many different symptoms, hence why it is called a spectrum. Many autistic people are high functioning, and don't obsess over trains. Some of the most common symptoms include:
- Lack of social awareness
- Sensory/overstimulation
- Hyperfixation
- Trouble making or keeping eye contact
- Unusual tone when speaking

This re-discovered definition for Autism stabilizes the words to mean, "The practice of One's Self."

I autistically grew my crops today.
I've been austismically interacting with the world and this is why I am consistently misunderstood.
The Autistic nature of Autism makes defining Autism, very difficult.

Get the autism mug.Autism Spectrum disorder, or autism, is a mental disorder in which most cases a person has problems with social communication, as well as learning new things and paying attention. Lots of people on the internet joke about autism because they don’t understand exactly what autism is, or are just completely rude and oblivious. Not trying to point anyone out but there are these types of people in this world.
People on the spectrum not only have mental issues, but physical as well. In these cases, they are sensitive to sound and sometimes have tics. Very similar to ADHD but they still have a distinction.
At the time this is written, Autism has no cure. Even if there is, there is no “ONE SIZE FITS ALL” that will get rid of it immediately. Autism also has good advantages. In some cases, autistic people may be above average in intelligence, which is phenomenal when you think about it.
All and all, autism has its good and bad things. Despite what others say, autism can be a great thing. Sure, you stand out but it just means your special. Hence the slogan:
“Autism is not a disability, it’s a different ability”
