Some people are Autistic and some people are Neurotypical...for the same reasons some people have blue eyes and some people have brown eyes, some are born as Asian people and some are born as caucasian people. It's all due to genetics, variations in humankind.

Nothing is the same as cancer and autism, not even cancer and autism are the same. Some very offensive people liken autism to a disease such as cancer, this is ableist.
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.
Yes, there are known situations of persons with autism having children with autism. There is a genetic component to autism. Some people with autism get married and have children. Some of those children have autism, but some do not. Autism varies in its severity, so other people might not recognize that a person has autism. Sometimes a parent with autism or Asperger's Syndrome is not diagnosed until after having a child with a more severe case that is diagnosed.
some people think that is but there not sure

It would not be ethical or legal to do anything TO people who have autism.
No, autism is not a mental handicap.Handicap is an offensive term, a more appropriate term may be disability. Autism is a neurological difference, although some Autistic people may be disabled autism is not a mental disability.
I'm 13 with autism and I go to "regular" classes with everybody else. Autism can range from mild to severe. The symptoms of people with autism can vary. People with autism can have very low IQs, but ones labeled as high-functioning have average or higher IQs. People with autism can have different tolerances for different settings - noise, brightness, temperature, scents, number of people, etc. Thus, some will be fine in "regular" classes and some will not. Some will outperform other students in "regular" classes. Some will do fine in a few "regular" classes, but not well in a few other "regular" classes.
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.
Yes people with autism do repeat them self's.
Some are while others are not. They vary, as does the entire population.Comment:I know a 20 year old boy with autism who is overweight.
