"Autism" in Spanish is "autismo". It is pronounced "ow-TEES-mow". Please see the Related link below for confirmation of the translation.
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.

I would say that although in general this answer would depend on the severity of the autism, I have not encountered a case in which autism proved to be an academic advantage.
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.
A person does not 'have' autism, a person is Autistic. Autism is a neurological variation that results from genetics, there's nothing conclusive to say that environmental factors contribute to this.
It is unlikely that your child would have autism. There is a genetic component to autism, so it is more likely that you would have a child with autism than a couple with no history of autism in their backgrounds. However, it is still more likely that your child will not have autism than have autism.

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.
Joan Miró was a Spanish painter (male) from Barcelona. I do not think he was autistic.
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.
