No, as an Autistic person I don't believe autism is a bad thing.

Some of us are more severely effected than others and how we're effected can change throughout our lives, but even with unpleasant characteristics autism itself is not a bad thing. The thing that is bad about autism, for all Autistic people, is the misinformation and ableism towards autistic people.

Is it good bad or horrible to have autism?

None of the above. Autism is not good, it's not bad, it just is - being Autistic is thus not good or bad either. Being Autistic (we do not 'have' autism) depends on the individual, some people have more severe symptoms than others and some face more prejudice or abuse than others. It's just like being neurotypical - not good, not bad, it just is.


Is autism bad?

It depends on your definition of bad. For example, if being different is bad, autism is bad. If viewing the world in a different way, perhaps noticing things that other people have missed, is good, autism is good. There are characteristics of autism that make life more difficult for the person with autism and his or her family. There are characteristics that other people might envy, such as excellent memories. Whether or not autism is bad is a subjective view. You can get opinions, but not definitive answers to that question.

What is the Vaccine-Autism debate?

In 1998 a fraudulent doctor published a paper claiming that the MMR vaccine causes autism - since then billions have been spent to completely disprove this claim, the doctor was found to be lying, and common sense about autism tells us that this was a lie...however some uneducated and ignorant people continue to believe this lie. People known as 'anti-vaxxers' are against lifesaving vaccinations and continue to claim that vaccines cause autism to try to argue that vaccines aren't healthy - in turn also implying that autism is a bad thing, worse than life-threatening diseases.
