Autism isn't located in the brain, autism is a type of brain. Autism is a neurological variation, we don't say that autism is in the brain in the same way that we don't say that African-American is in the skin.
Is autism mental or a disibility physical?
Autism is not mental or physical per say, nor is it always a disability. Autism is a neurological difference - some people with autism do consider themselves disabled because of the way autism effects them, but many autistic people live just like neurotypical people so do not consider their autism to be a disability at all.
Was Albert Einstein's brain special?
it was 'special' in the way that he had autism.
Can a 2 year old get rid of autism?
No - no one can 'get rid' of autism. Autism is a neurological difference...the only way to 'get rid' of autism then would be to 'get rid' of a persons brain, which obviously isn't an option. Although autism can be a disability for many it can also be an advantage to many, even if a 2 year old is severely affected by their autism they may improve over time.

Autism isn't something that you overcome, Autism is your identity - you are always Autistic, there is no way to change that. As someone who is Autistic you will still display traits of your neurology.

Autism is not a sickness. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder. It is a condition with a genetic component that affects the way the brain works.
Is there any genetic test to see if you have autism?
No - autism is a neurological condition so it cannot show in a blood test, the only way to diagnose autism is with intensive assessment with a trained professional.
Can autism be passed on to someone else?
Autism is not a disease or a virus, it cannot be passed onto someone else in the same way, Autism is a variant in neurology so it is 'passed on' in the same way as other human variations such as skin colour, or hair colour. Autism can be passed on through genetics, an Autistic person or couple are more likely to have Autistic children than Neurotypical parents.
