Autism is considered a "neurodevelopmental disorder." Many parents of autistic children are trying to get the DSM to reclassify autism as not being a mental illness. Autistic people can, however, have many other psychological illness's such as OCD. It depends on what you mean by "ill"; if you're technically speaking then check with the DSM, but if you are talking in a more judgmental sense then the answer can vary. No matter what autistic people are still people and deserve to be treated as such.

Did Ringo Starr have autism?
Well, being a who fan myself. By the way Keith acted it is obvious that there was something wrong with him- in a way it could either have been ADHD or Autism. Or he was just completely crazy with the way he acted. But if you look carefully at the way he plays the drums, that could be one sign. RIP KEITH
