It can be
None of the above. Autism is not good, it's not bad, it just is - being Autistic is thus not good or bad either. Being Autistic (we do not 'have' autism) depends on the individual, some people have more severe symptoms than others and some face more prejudice or abuse than others. It's just like being neurotypical - not good, not bad, it just is.
There is no such thing. Down syndrome and autism are separate conditions.
Autism can be good because a lot of autism kids have special talents that we don't have, a lot of them have a picture perfect memory.
Autism is inborn. They haven't figure out what causes autism yet.
silence speakers ,autism puzzle

No, as an Autistic person I don't believe autism is a bad thing.Some of us are more severely effected than others and how we're effected can change throughout our lives, but even with unpleasant characteristics autism itself is not a bad thing. The thing that is bad about autism, for all Autistic people, is the misinformation and ableism towards autistic people.
do you know someone with autism? you can start by telling a story.. or with the shocking statistics
Ummm... Nothing but for someone that has autism this might be a good device for them to use.
Walk for Autism supports Autism Speaks, which is widely considered to be a hate group due to the harm they cause to Autistic people. A good Christian would not support this organization.
There's no such thing as the 'autism epidemic'.Autism is a variation in neurology, it is not a disease so cannot be an 'epidemic'. This terminology is commonly used by those who are against Autistic people or use Autism to further their agenda (such as using it to make money - e.g. Autism Speaks) to create a culture of fear, often using misleading data claiming Autism is on the increase when it's not (diagnosis has increased, Autism hasn't).
Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism is a good place to donate to. They are involved in the support, research, and education of autistic children. Autism Society of America Foundation is another one as well as the National Alliance for Autism Research.
