What are stereotypes of autism?
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.
