I know a couple of people with autism, to be honest, to me it's just a word, just a blanket statement on which ways people behave are attributed to. Sure, bear it in mind if someone says they have autism, but at least from my experience, having autism doesn't really contribute on the whole that much to what a person is. It's such a flexible and hard-to-define condition that it really is no help to assume anything about the way anyone with autism is.
