| The perks of having Autism. |
It is well known that Autism Spectrum Disorder is often characterized by a restricted and repetitive behavior, also by problems with communication and social interaction. You might even think there’s nothing good from a disorder like this one, but that’s not true since it provides hundreds of advantages to take into consideration. Here are some things that maybe you didn’t know about autism.
- According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there’s an estimate of autism’s prevalence as 1 in 68 children in the United States. This includes 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls.

| All these historical geniuses had some form of autism through their lives. |
- Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton might both have shown many signs of Asperger syndrome, a form of the condition that does not cause learning difficulties.
- Psychology Today mentions that employers are discovering that autistic people make ideal employees in some jobs, including human resources, benefits administration, and coding because people with autism have a more significant capacity for attention to details. This works as an example of autistic abilities that contribute to many achievements in arts, chess, and music.
- According to Autism Awareness Centre, a new study in Sweden revealed that the risk of premature death for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder is about 2.5 times higher than for the rest of the population. Furthermore, the leading causes of early death in autism are: epilepsy, heart problems, cancer and, sometimes, suicide.
- Premature babies and babies born with low birth weight have five times greater chance to develop autism than those born with an average weight, according to a study published in the journal “Pediatrics.”
- According to Autism Speaks Org., Autism Spectrum Disorder affects approximately more than 2 million individuals in the U.S. and tens of millions worldwide.
- Children with autism develop a somewhat unusual interest in objects, for example, they may tell you everything about car engines, or they might sit for hours spinning the wheels of a toy vehicle.
- Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder may have considerable variation in abilities, but this depends entirely on the child, as we know, everybody is different. These skills may be: great memory for song lyrics or movies, perfect understanding of how computers work, or even build a complex structure out of Lego.
