No, you cannot get rid of your autism.

If you're Autistic then your brain is autistic - it effects every single aspect of who you are, it is who you are as a person and that cannot be changed. You are born Autistic and continue to be Autistic throughout your entire life, which is absolutely fine. There is nothing wrong with being Autistic.

No, a person cannot become autistic any more than a white person can become black - a person is born autistic, it is a difference in how the brain is formed and the way in which it works. A person can go their entire lives without knowing they were autistic, after all autism wasn't known until the early 1900's.

No, you cannot catch autism.

Autism is not an illness, disease, or virus, it is a neurological condition so it is how a persons brain is formed and works. A person is born Autistic as a result of genetics. A person cannot develop Autism.

No, a person cannot become Autistic. Autism is a neurological difference, it is how someone's brain is formed within the womb, so a person is born Autistic as a result of their genes. A neurotypical person cannot become Autistic as their genes and brains cannot be changed.

You can catch it from the virus that causes it, the Rubella virus was first known to be the cause, the virus usually spreads from a cough and/or a sneeze, sharing eating utensils and other things.

However, if you didn't find out that you have autism until you are an adult, then your autism must be the mild kind on the entire autism spectrum.

Is autism like locked in syndrome?

No. Autism is not like locked in syndrome. The two are totally different. A number of children with Autism have damage to a particular part of their brain. Since they are children, many of them can be taught to use a different part of their brain for communication. On the other hand, several different commutation problems have been given the catch all diagnosis of Autism. With Locked in Syndrome the problem is not in the brain but with the brain's ability to communicate with that part of the body that communicates with the outside world.
