		Many autistic children and adults who are able to communicate (at least in writing) are opposed to attempts to cure their conditions, and they (and/or the guardians) see such conditions as part of who they are.
		Much of this is due to the sensory system of autistics, which is quite different from the sensory system of other people, since certain stimulations can affect an autist differently than a non-autist, and the degree to which the sensory system is affected varies wildly from one autistic person to another.
		Autistics who communicate have explained that companionship is as important to autistics as it is to anyone else.

		Some autistic children and adults who are able to communicate (at least in writing) are opposed to attempts to cure their autism, because they (and/or the guardians) see autism as part of who they are.
		Autistic people are often attracted to other autistic people due to shared interests or obsessions, but more often than not the attraction is due to simple compatibility with personality types, the same as for non-autistics.
		Parents and relatives of autistic adults strongly fear their loved ones would be unsuspected victims of crime and fraud, and autistic adults are said to end up a target for hate crimes, since in the U.S. for one to purposely attack an individual for their disability, is a federal felony.

		In terms of both classification and therapy, autistic individuals are often divided into those with an IQ<80 referred to as suffering from "low-functioning autism", while those with IQ>80 are referred to as having "high functioning autism" (HFA).
		Of the most common presentations of autism, Kanner's syndrome is often described as classical autism, implying low-functioning, while Asperger's syndrome is described as a high-functioning form of autism, but this is not necessarily the case.
		Autism has evolved in the public understanding, but the popular identification of autism with such severe cases as accurately presented in Rain Man is an encouragement for relatives of family members diagnosed in the autistic spectrum to speak of their loved ones as suffering from Asperger's rather than autism.

		Certain stimulations can affect an autistic differently than a non-autistic, and the degree to which the sensory system is affected varies wildly from one autistic to another.
		Autistic children often seem to prefer being alone and may passively accept such things as hugs and cuddling without reciprocating, or resist attention altogether.
		Although not universal, it is common for autistics to be unable to regulate their behavior, with crying, verbal outbursts, or self-injurious behaviours that may seem out of proportion to the situation.

	Autistic savant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		An autistic savant (more commonly known as an idiot savant) is a person who expresses extraordinary mental abilities, often in the fields of numerical calculation (not to be confused with mathematics) (see also mental calculator), art, or music but usually set within the context of autism or mental retardation.
		When one has an extraordinary single skill in an otherwise unexceptional intellect, he or she may simply be described as a savant, without qualifier, although savant is usually meant to mean a person of learning, especially one of great knowledge in a particular subject, without remarking on the person's overall state of intellect.
		Autistic savantism is usually recognised during childhood and is often but not always found in autistic children.

	Autism Information
		With intense therapy and practice and schooling, some children diagnosed with autism can improve their social and other skills to the point where they can fully participate in mainstream education and social events, but there are no indications that a cure from autism is possible with current technology or advances in medicine.
		Autistic people are often attracted to other autistic people due to shared interests or obsessions, but more often than not the attraction is due to simple compatibility with personality types, the same as is true for non-autistics.
		It is also a common misperception that autistic people live away from other people, such as living in an rural area rather than a urban area, however there has been some autistics that can maintain living in suburb or large city.
