Do people with autism live alone?

People with autism have the same lifespan as someone without autism. Remember autism is not a life threatening disease like cancer.

Autism is not mental or physical per say, nor is it always a disability. Autism is a neurological difference - some people with autism do consider themselves disabled because of the way autism effects them, but many autistic people live just like neurotypical people so do not consider their autism to be a disability at all.

People don't 'get' autism. They are born with it.

No, not necessarily. Rocking back and forth alone is not an indication of autism, neurotypical people can rock back and forth too!

The fact is that Autism diagnosis is increasing but that doesn't mean that Autism is on the rise, in fact there's no evidence to support the…

Consider looking into Autism Acceptance instead…
