No, Autism is a neurological difference.
We Autistic people have different neurology to Neurotypical people - our brains work differently and are 'wired' differently. Just because our brains are different doesn't mean that they are ill or in any way inferior to the brains of Neurotypical people, we are not neurotypical gone wrong.

∙ 8y agoWhether you consider autism to be a mental health condition or not depends on how you define a mental health condition. Autism is a neurological difference so it is no more a mental health condition than being neurotypical, it's just a different form of brain development. Autism is not a mental health problem or mental health disorder because that would imply that neurotypical brains are the ideal and autistic people are somehow broken - we're not.
