No. Some do. Some have eidetic memories only for their special interests. Many have extraordinarily good memories.
Well, there are few stereotypes of autism. One common stereotype is the autistic savant - many people think that every autistic has some area of incredible talent and is otherwise low functioning, when in fact only a few autistics fit that profile. Many disabilities, autism included, seem to have paired stereotypes of mild and severe. In autism, these are the low functioning and high functioning autism stereotypes. Rather than recognizing that most autistics are medium functioning, many people seem to think there are two distinct subtypes of autism - the nonverbal, self-injurious person in diapers; and the highly intelligent, socially awkward person with mild impairment. A few people, confused by the description of 'lack of empathy', think that autism is similar to psychopathy. In reality, autism is a failure of understanding, not caring. Incidentally, autistic repetitive behaviors are sometimes referred to as 'stereotypies' or 'stereotypical behavior'. This consists of actions like rocking back and forth, hand-flapping, lining up toys, etc. It's unrelated to the usual meaning of stereotypes.
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that can have a variety of genetic and environmental factors contributing to its development. It is not always necessary for other family members to have autism for someone to be diagnosed with it. It can arise from a combination of genetic predispositions and other factors, and each individual's experience with autism can be unique.

People may have different perspectives, biases, emotions, or priorities that shape how they interpret and remember events. Factors such as past experiences, cultural backgrounds, and personality traits can also influence how individuals perceive and recount the same event. Additionally, selective attention and memory can lead to discrepancies in how details are recalled and shared.
A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention. Examples of a neutral stimulus is a song, an animal, or a flower. If a person that you love gives you a specific flower, creating a pleasant memory, every time you see or smell this specific flower, it brings pleasant memories of that person.

On average 4.3 males have autism for every 1 female. So only about 18%-19% of people with autism are female.
Nope. 1 in every 68 children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls) have autism. While other people may have symptoms that are similar to those of Autism, not everyone has Autism.
He wears the Autism Awareness pin because he has a step-son with Autism. We need a cure for Autism, but we also need compassion and understanding for the children and families who struggle every day.

No, you cannot get rid of your autism.If you're Autistic then your brain is autistic - it effects every single aspect of who you are, it is who you are as a person and that cannot be changed. You are born Autistic and continue to be Autistic throughout your entire life, which is absolutely fine. There is nothing wrong with being Autistic.
People with autism can also have ADD. Sometimes, one condition is misdiagnosed as the other. But, the two conditions are not related disorders. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder. ADD is a neurobiological disorder related to the brain chemical dopamine. Here is an incomplete list of symptoms that might appear in either a child with autism or a child with ADD, but these symptoms will not appear in every child with either autism or ADD: - forgetfulness or short-term memory issues - talking excessively - social errors such as not waiting one's turn or interrupting - inability to focus on topics that are not primary areas of interest - fidgeting or stimming - easily distracted - considered disruptive
I would like to say yes. If I am correct, there are medications and ways of dealing with autism. One of my friends is autistic, and you can barely tell he has autism, though she does need a little bit of cheering up every once in a while.
i don't know. probably not. Sometimes you can tell if a child is a little ''quirky'' and doesn't quite understand others verbal and non verbal cues. Some people have autistic tendencies yet don't have autism, and some have autism which is a little harder to detect. If you are worried it is best to consult a paediatrician or other professional. A person with autism does not differ in physical appearance compared to people without autism, although it has been suggested that as they grow older they might look slightly more youthful than others their age. Autism cannot be detected by physical appearance; it is detected by behaviors.
You might have an anxiety disorder.
