People say that Autism is a mystery because it is a mystery, we know very little about it and it's only been considered a condition for a few decades. We don't know what causes it, why different people experience different symptoms, how to treat it and how to take advantage of it.

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.


Why is Autism located in the brain?

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 the number of people with autistic spectrum disorder rising?

It's impossible to say as we don't understand enough about autism yet - diagnosis is increasing, which is giving people the impression that autism is on the increase (when in fact it is simply that we understand autism better and diagnosis is better), but that doesn't necessarily mean that autism is on the increase.


Is there an autistic cult group trying to come up with a cure for autism and asperger's?

There isn't an Autistic cult group trying to come up with a cure for Autism (no need to say 'and Asperger's given as it is Autism, it's redundant), however there is Autism Speaks which may as well be a cult as they brainwash people into thinking Autism is bad and seek to 'cure' Autism. The only way to 'cure' Autism would be to eradicate Autistic people and prevent Autistic people being born.

How much money is funded to find a cure for autism?

It's impossible to say for sure how much money goes into funding for research into a 'cure' for Autism overall, but an example would be to look at Autism Speaks which is the largest organisation focusing on Autism in the US and is pro-eugenics* so supports finding a 'cure'. In 2012 Autism Speaks put $15,790,797 into research, most of which was focused on finding a 'cure'. * Autism is a neurological difference; it's how a persons brain works and who they are, as such Autism cannot be seperated from the person. Autism can no more be cured than you can cure being African-American, the only way to get rid of autism would be to get rid of all the Autistic people. In supporting a cure what people are saying is that Autistic people are worth less than Neurotypical people, or that Autistic people are broken Neurotypical people, and to support finding a 'cure' for autism is essentially supporting eugenics.
