A person does not 'get' autism, a person is Autistic.

We are born Autistic - it's a neurological difference, so it's how our brains are formed within the womb and we remain Autistic throughout our entire lives. Autism is genetic, with as many as 95% of cases being found to be due to specific genes or variations in genes.

What is the name of the person studies autism?

A person with autism is said to be autistic. There are also specific forms of autism, such as Asperger's Syndrome, but there is no handy description for such a person, who would still just be called autistic, not Aspergeristic. A person with autism can be described as "a person with autism" or "an autistic person." Some individuals prefer the people-first phrasing - "a person with autism" - because they do not want others to think that autism is the entirety of their being. A person with Asperger's Syndrome is usually not described as autistic because it is not autism. Both autism and Asperger's Syndrome are autism spectrum disorders, also known as pervasive developmental disorders. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome refer to themselves as "Aspergians" or "Aspies," but others do not like them.
