Why are neurotypical adults rude?
Not all Autistic people are rude, to suggest otherwise is prejudice - often Autistic people are more polite than neurotypical people because they've had social skills training and are more sensitive to social rules than neurotypical people because they have to be in order to pass as neurotypical. Autistic people don't always understand social rules, such as being polite rather than being blunt or honest, this can sometimes come across as rude.

Can a person be in their forties and have autism and not know it?
Yes, it is very common for Autistic adults to have gone throughout their lives without knowing that they were Autistic. It was believed that Autism only occurred in boys, that a person was only Autistic if they behaved in a way common in those more severely impacted by Autism, and Autism was not widely known about a few decades ago...thus often people don't realize they're Autistic. Many adults do not realize that they're Autistic until their children are diagnosed and they start to learn more about Autism, thus recognize characteristics in themselves.
Can autistic people be in relationships?
Yes, an Autistic person can have a successful relationship. Sometimes it is harder for Autistic people to find a healthy relationship, and for them to maintain a normal relationship, especially when they are attempting a relationship with a Neurotypical person rather than another Autistic person. Like with anyone else, relationships take effort.
Should people treat autism as a tragedy?
Many parents do struggle with their autistic child and are concerned about their future. Autism doesn't mean a child/adult who is mentally handicapped. Autistic brains think different and many autistic people only deserved to be understood and not treated like they're sick or handicapped. Autistic children/adults are not sick or handicapped. Many parents should try to understand their autistic child instead of being scared all the time.
Is autism only in children?
No, Autism is not only in children.Autism is a neurological difference, a person is born Autistic just like a person is born neurotypical. An Autistic person will always be Autistic and thus become an Autistic adult. Autistic people often improve over time, learning social and communication skills as well as learning to cope with or mask autism characteristics in order to fit in to neurotypical society. Autistic adults often fit in better than children.
How can you support your son who has autism?
Learn about autism - not just from doctors or studies but from autistic people themselves, autistic adults have already been through what your son is going to go through so can help. There are many resources by autistic people, for example if you are on Facebook Karla's ASD Page is a great recourse for parents of autistic children, and Karla herself is autistic so can give great insight into autism. Even if your son is severely effected and the adults you talk to are not, remember that many autistic adults were severely effected as children, also that no matter what we all have symptoms in common. Autistic adults have meltdowns like autistic children, where as a severely autistic person may not be able to explain what a meltdown is, how it feels, or what to do to help them...a person not so severely effected can tell you these things, and likely able to explain better thanks to the benefit of a lifetime of experience. Support your son - understand that issues like meltdowns are not behavioural, a meltdown for an autistic person is as unpleasant and uncontrollable as a seizure for an epileptic. Don't scold autistic behaviour or try to train it out of him, accept his autism and work with it to help him live as full a life as possible, trying to force him to be something he is not (neurotypical) doesn't help him and may make his problems worse. Also, don't sell him short - even if severely effected now he may improve in time, the world is full of stories where a child could have been deemed 'severely autistic' only to grow-up to outperform their neurotypical peers and live independently, functioning as well as any neurotypical person. If your child doesn't improve that isn't the end of the world, you will still love them and see how wonderful they are.
