As autism is a neurological difference it's main effect is on the brain, but as it effects the brain it also means it has an effect on the body as a whole. For example autistic people often suffer sensory issues, this means that their brain processes sensory input differently and is more sesitive to this - thus it can make autistic people sensitive to touch or unable to withstand bright lights.
Autistic people are also six times more likely to experience digestive problems, no one is quite sure why this is yet but it can cause problems like IBS in some autistic people - specific dietary changes can be helpful for some autistics.
