not something to be laughed about, as autism is a real disorder, and it affects roughly 1 out of every 160 or so children, and there are also millions of adults and children living with it today.
There is no cure, but with research centers like the Autism Society of The Quad Cities (Iowa/Illinois), the Autism Society of North Carolina, the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and the Center for the Study of Autism, there is hope in the future for a cure for this disorder in which a person has social difficulties, demands a predictable environment, has things that they are ultimately irritated by, and other characteristics and symptoms associated with this disorder. There are also milder forms of this mental/emotional condition (See Asperger's Syndrome)

To better understand autistic people and the disorder of Autism in general, many people need to open their minds and quit being judgemental towards people that have this. Autism is a serious condition, and it is something that should have a lot more consideration and understanding.

Get the autistic mug.A person who suffers from a deficiencies in social-emotional range/approach. Typically unable to discern key verbal and non-verbal queues most people and normally without much effort. This can impact social, relational, work, academic and generally any aspect of life that demands higher social skill than the individual has the capacity for.
Coping with demand beyond this capacity causes in many repetitive motions, strict/rigid adherence to schedule and routine, extreme almost obsessive focus on key interest, and sensitivity to their environment.
By definition a wide and diverse group of individuals can fall into this group so it's easy to say that if you've meet one person with autism then you've simply meet one person with autism. Two people with autism can be almost nothing alike except in the ways described above.
To bring balance to this definition people with autism are capable of being some of the kindest and most loyal people you may meet. Not to stereotype but to give a pop culture example of such Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang theory is played as an autistic and despite the ways he puts many people off is is as loyal a friend to those he allows to be his friend as most anyone can be.

Get the autistic mug.When a person is in a state, where he can't or won't talk to other people around him/her. Can also be called headphones mode.
Autistic mode can be achieved easily by putting headphones on and play some good music. Noise is an excellent insulator against talking.
This state can be also achieved without phones by concentrating hard on to something or by dreaming (class or any other boring occasion).
Makes people hard to talk to because they don't react even if you call their name.
Comes from anime series Ghost In a Shell episode 22 where Ishikawa and Batou are tracing Chief Aramaki, but cannot contact him.
Ishikawa: That's strange. The Chief's running on autistic mode
