Does autism cause death

Answer 1

No. Autism cannot kill anyone. Having autism does not cause death or shorten one's lifespan. Having Rett syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder, might result in a shorter lifespan, but it has not been thoroughly studied.

Autism is a neurological disorder that causes someone to think a bit differently, namely in the areas of: Communication: Someone with true autism will have delays in their language development, whereas someone with an autism spectrum disorder such as aspergers may be very advanced in terms of language, but not understand subtle things such as reading body language or tone of voice. They may also speak in a monotone, or have trouble monitoring their volume of their voice. Social skills: Let me just say so that I'm not misunderstood on this that people with autism are NOT antisocial NOR is their social awkwardness their fault. What I do mean is that people with autism or ASD (autism spectrum disorders) may have trouble reading how they or other people are feeling from thir actions and responding accordingly, or forming peer relationships. This manifests in different ways for people with autism and no two autistic people are alike. Repetitive behavior: This ranges from movements such as finger flicking, rocking or spinning, to behaviors like stacking and lining up toys to being overly fixated on one thing. Being fixated on a certain topic is not necessarily a negative thing. Just because autism is a disorder does NOT mean that all autistic traits are negative. Someone who is fixated on a topic the way an autistic person is may become a savant in that field and make many contributions to it. It also is good to have direction in life and know what you want to study/work in.

Answer 2

No, autism doesn't lead to death - autism is simply a difference in how the brain works, it is not life-threatening. Although it should be noted that many Autistic people have been murdered by carers or parents due to prejudice against them, and Autistic people may be less likely to be able to go into higher education or employment (due to their limitations or due to prejudice towards them) which means overall Autistic people are worse-off financially than Neurotically people, which impacts on life expectancy.
