right I'm going to chime in and say this. I'm a certified autist, assburger to be precise. I wasn't diagnosed until later in life and only after my own awakening. I can say from my experience with my own particular tism, It's absolute a thing. It's extremely debilitating socially, can lead to crippling anxiety. Self consciousness to the extreme

There is a massive misconception that people like me have no empathy, it's absolute not true, though my empathy is 'different'. I can be extremely selfish at times and seem un-caring, especially when I'm overwhelmed. But I know that I do care, and care deeply, and I can show that I care.

People do not know that I am autistic from speaking to me, though many recognise i'm a bit 'odd'. I don't mention the subject because they immediately assume 'OHHH... You're one of those....' They assume I'm retarded.

I do feel that ASD have been over diagnosed as a catch all for bad parenting and other issues, as things have been in the past. Personally, I was well behaved in school, I cruised through and was a model student, in general.

I don't feel my condition, or as I like to put it, the way I am, was caused by vaccines. I don't use it as a crutch or an excuse, but there are very real limitations and challenges I have that can be absolutely crippling. On the bright side, I'm an absolute bona fide autist when it comes to politics, conspiracy and many subjects and talents. I also don't rule out the link between vaccines and autism. Just be aware, there are autistic people with feelings, that aren't retarded. They may also not all be autistic due to vaccinations.

Acting like it has major upsides to a downside... Generally though there is very rare savant syndrome

I'm sorry but that is wrong. I'm not a genius but I have a decently high IQ. I'm not a musical prodigy but I am basically world class in what I've chosen to master. I've competed at an elite level in lawn bowls. I'm certainly not a servant in any sense, but you're wrong in assuming that generally autism = all downside. There are many downsides, but my ability to focus and raw intellect allow me to spend thousands of hours mastering something that regular folk don't' have the time, patience or passion for. That being said, not all autistic people or aspies have special talents, either. The point is, don't assume things about subjects you don't have a great understanding of

I wouldn't want to change the way I am, for anything in the world.
