No not really , i have worked with young people with Autism and they come in all shapes and sizes , just like you or i .
Autism Walk is promoted by Autism Speaks to increase their profits, Autism Speaks is considered to be a hate group by Autistic people - if you care about Autistic people you don't give a single penny to that organisation.

You can't get a phD in Autism - Autism is a neurological difference and/or identity.You may be able to get qualifications specializing in Autism, how much you could earn depends on your qualifications, experience, and how good you are at your job (remember the real autism experts are Autistic people - if you want to work with Autistic people learn about them from them).

Yes people with autism do repeat them self's.
There is no Autism epidemic - it's not a disease or a virus, Autism is a neurological difference and represents Autistic people - referring to Autism as an epidemic is referring to Autistic people as an epidemic, it is dangerous and prejudice. People use the term 'epidemic' to promote fear surrounding Autism in order to push their agenda's or to make money, in the mean time not caring about how this impacts on those of us who are Autistic.
It is estimated that around 40% of individuals with autism are able to hold some form of employment. However, many factors such as level of support and accommodation needed, individual skills, and workplace environment can impact an individual's ability to maintain employment.

It's not hard to fight Autism because there is no reason to fight Autism to begin with. Autism is not a bad things, it's not something people need to fight but Autism is a group of people who deserve to be fought for and not against!
