Just some facts:

- People with autism will often have strong beliefs of something and WILL argue to defend there beliefs.
- People with autism might have a different sense of humour to you and will often post jokes that you guys won't get (often fandom orientated)
- If you stress an autistic person out and push him beyond his limit, he will often go into something called "sensory overload" which will often be an outburst of violent, angry, or panicked emotion.
- Alot of autistics suffer from OCD, keep that in mind.
- Alot of autistics will see things differently so watch what you say to one.

Post more.

DISCLAIMER : I have autism, and I'm speaking from personal experience. If you're autistic and a trait on here doesn't apply to you, please note that autism is a wide variety of traits that often affect people differently. I'm not posting this to offend or spread controversy, I'm just posting facts that you should know.

For some reason, people like throwing around the word autism, trying to pass it off as an insult. Pisses me off.

I have intermediate OCD and I'm not autistic. .D. I have the whole lot of anxiety disorders, though. Avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive.

If you think about it, everyone has autism in some way:

We all have different believes. When someone disagrees our believes, we defend our believes, like some cases:

"I like McDonald's better than Burger King"
"No, they suck, BK is better"
Discussion.

"I like Xbox better than PlayStation"
"Nah, they suck! PS is better"
Discussion.

You all get the idea.

Autistic people can be some of the most intelligent people in the world. In most cases I heard of when it comes to drawing or something because they can be so focused on a particular thing. I don't think very many people on this website really understand exactly what autism is, but have a vague idea of what they think it could be, so I recommend you guys look it up. Don't use Wikipedia or google answers. Use something legitimate.

One thing in real life that usually helps me immediately tell if someone has some form of autism is their voice. I'm not making fun of it, but it makes me feel super bad for them since they might feel self concious about it. I'm not even sure if my voice sounds normal. It's not very deep, at least I don't think it is and I'm always paranoid about what I sound like when I am talking. The reason is because I was diagnosed with autism at the age of three. It lasted until I was six but I was "cured". Some autism won't last forever so please try to help autistic people in any way you can even if it seems impossible for them to one day become like everyone else.
