I have it.
Oh, I know what those phrases mean, I use them some of the time. But, I do take comments literal, like I take anything else. My feelings aren’t hurt by that.

I want to see how much you parents out there really know about autism and other autistic spectrum disorders

question 1: What do you know about autism
question 2: what do you know about asperger’s syndrome?
question 3: what do you know about sensory issues?

Please star this question so all your contacts can see this question

I usually tell strangers I have “mild Autism” but when people hear the word Autism they often automatically think I’m stupid. What could I tell them instead?

If yes, what do you know about it?
Can you define it easily?
What are views on autism?
Have you ever met a person with autism?

I especially want to hear from siblings or parents of children with autism spectrum disorders, but I would also like to hear from others who have dealt with this disease. Please share your experiences, if you have any.

This is not for research. I am asking only out of curiosity.
I already know what it is. I want to learn from others what they know of it. And you shouldn’t have to take a course in physiology to find out what autism is.
Thanks, but I am not looking for definitions. Please see the above.
Harry, I’m glad that someone finally understood what I was looking for. My brother also has autism, and thankfully, in recent years, his speech has been improving by miles, although he still can’t speak his thoughts; he only conveys learned responses.

I wish the best of luck to your brother and family.
I apologize for my use of the word “disease” in describing autism.

Is there a certain way they sit, talk etc?

Did you know anyone with autism spectrum disorders who’s teacher (stern, strict, tempered, etc.) gets impatient with him / her and disciplined her / him for his / her symptoms (sensitivity to sound, etc.) and insisted they were VERY RUDE NONSENSE or whatever?

i have two children and a husband on the spectrum.
