I'm going to start this by telling you that I have a very jaded view of the medical community. I believe that if you go looking for a specific problem, you will find one. Especially if there is a great deal of money to be made in "discovering" this new trend. A few years ago almost everyone I knew had a kid that had adht and needed meds to keep them from becoming unmanageable. I really believe that autism is a very serious problem for children that actually have autism. But, if 1 out of every 38 supposedly has it I'm not sure the real kids suffering will get the attention it deserves.

Can people with autism dangerous?

People with autism does not spread to others. It's just starts to happen when they're born. Sometimes if they have A LOT of autism, they may look scary and copy what you do because they have learning problems. How they act could indicate autism such as not listening to adults or repetitively stacking of lining up objects. They might also act weird. And also when they grown up and have children, the child may also have autism because of their gene. People with autism SHOULD go to a special school. You could tell if they have it by they're voice, how they act and of copping others. No, autism isn't really harmful to others. It won't spread to others. ;)
