Autism has a genetic component, so people can be born with it. Others are born with a susceptibility to autism that is probably triggered by an environmental factor. So, there are newborns with autism. Usually, autism is not diagnosed until age 2 or 3, but some cases are diagnosed earlier, and some are not identified until much later.

A person with autism is said to be autistic. There are also specific forms of autism, such as Asperger's Syndrome, but there is no handy description for such a person, who would still just be called autistic, not Aspergeristic. A person with autism can be described as "a person with autism" or "an autistic person." Some individuals prefer the people-first phrasing - "a person with autism" - because they do not want others to think that autism is the entirety of their being. A person with Asperger's Syndrome is usually not described as autistic because it is not autism. Both autism and Asperger's Syndrome are autism spectrum disorders, also known as pervasive developmental disorders. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome refer to themselves as "Aspergians" or "Aspies," but others do not like them.
