In my opinion, having autism is not a good health condition, as it affects brain development. Autistic people lead a normal life, but can't interact with society.

As your therapist said, having autism is a cool thing. In my opinion, I understood that he wants to build confidence and a positive feeling about autism in you.

I know a Doctor who deals with autism, who said that Autism is a mind-affecting disease that affects a person's ability to speak. It comes to know at some stage in childhood, generally at the age of 1.5 to 2 years old. Autistic youngsters face trouble with social interactions and verbal and non-verbal communication. The treatment taken by people at therapists in a positive manner, their behavior changed in a good way.
