Autism is STILL classified as a spectrum disorder.
Meaning you can be significantly affected or be affected very little by it.
People with "high functioning" autism may appear "normal" to most others.
People with "severe" autism often can not speak and they need help doing simple tasks(like bathing,toileting,writing...etc).
High functioning or not,autism almost always affects them sensory wise.
They often have "stimming" behaviors (in severe autism things like hand flapping,humming and rocking).

∙ 8y agoIt depends what disabilities are involved. Autistic people are far more different from each other than neurotypical people are.
Some need wheelchairs at least some of the time, some can't talk, some need assistance in daily activities (cooking, cleaning, etc). Others don't consider themselves disabled at all. Many struggle to make and keep friends, but many have overcome that, too.
