An Autistic is a person with Autism.
Yes, you capitalize autism when you are talking about Autistic people or Autistic communities - the same as you would with deaf verses Deaf person. Autism is an identity, capitalizing recognizes that.
Someone who is born on the autism spectrum/has autism spectrum disorder/is autistic. Often used in an offensive manner towards autistic people.
No - autism is a neurological condition, autistic children grow-up into autistic adults.
It depends on the use.Autism as an identity is capitalized - for example Autistic person, Autistic child, Autistic community.Autism as a diagnosis or things for autism are not - for example autism diagnosis, autism classroom.
A person does not 'develop' autism - a person is born autistic.
Yes, when referring to autism as an identity you capitalize - for example Autistic person, Autistic child, Autistic community. In general you don't capitalize autism, for example when talking about autism as a condition or autistic resources.
Autism is a neurological difference, as such you are born autistic and you cannot become autistic. Autism and vaccinations are completely unrelated.

No one 'gets' autism. Autism is a neurological difference, people who are autistic are born autistic and it'snot something that they contract.
Autism cannot be cured - Autism is a neurological difference, not an illness to be cured.A person is born Autistic and remains Autistic their entire life, just as someone who is born Caucasian cannot be 'cured' of being Caucasian. Autism is a neurological difference, you cannot get rid of Autism in a person without changing their brain, which is simply not possible.
Autism is a neurological variation so primarily the brain is effected by autism, an Autistic person has an Autistic brain. Autism also in turn effects the nervous system, and some Autistic people have digestive health problems too.
Autism isn't something you 'get' you are born autistic - anyone can be born autistic, although there does seem to be a gentic link so often autistic people are more likely to have autistic children, or you often see multiple siblings in a single family with autism. As yet we don't know what causes autism, so we can't tell who is more likely to have autistic offspring.
