and?

Autism is a somewhat broad and complex condition.

Sometimes it can be a disability that causes people to be unable to function in society.

Sometimes it can give a person unique skills that you don't see in any normal person.

Sometimes it even does both at the same time.

But it depends on the individual and how it affects them specifically.

Also, you can't catch or cause autism. You're either born with it or not. It's basically to do with how the brain fundamentally gets wired from birth.

A dog trainer told us our dog is autistic. I have a special needs dog.

I knew an autistic kid in the 80's while in high school. He could name each player on every world series winning team. Every area code in the united states, and what states every interstate runs through.

Why, because autistic people "aren't normal"?
