關於Autism的意思和用法的提問

A: @mofir
Autism is a disease in which the sick person has a kind of block from everything that comes from the external world to himself.
In this case the word is used as a metaphor : Eisenhower did not listen to anyone about the use of nuclear. And this is the meaning of the last sentence : even if the best minds (people very well informed about nuclear power) advised him, he refused to listen to them.
Hope it helps!

A: autism = a permanent mental disability that reduces a person's ability to communicate, understand other people's thoughts and emotions, and behave in a socially acceptable way

A: It’s the same thing. Autism is a disability and people usually call it “ASD” instead of “autism” these days.

“My friend has ASD”

“That is for people with ASD”

A: Autism is not black or white. I wanted to prove to the others that I didn’t have any disabilities, so I went to a pre-medical school after I graduated an Art university. At the art university, I could study alone all day. People thought that I was a nerd because all I did at the college was study. I never went to any parties, nor did I go out with boys. I would shut myself at the library or an art studio from morning until night. However, at pre-medical school, there were a few teamwork-related activities in which I had to participate. Most of the medical students seemed extremely competitive and judgmental (and super rich), although this is just my opinion. I was stressed out and began to distance myself from them. One day, one of the teachers asked me if I used to be non-verbal. I couldn't answer. He was a chemistry teacher. He didn't talk much even while he was in the classroom. He seemed like he was trying to avoid students just like I did, but I couldn't answer his question because I didn't want people to know that I have autism. I asked him a chemistry question instead. He seemed a bit confused, but he answered my question politely. It was a difficult question so I couldn't fully understand his explanation, but I pretended that I understood because I didn't want to bother his busy schedule. He knew that I didn't understand, so he looked at me straight in the eyes and said "You can not say 'I understand' unless you 100% understand." He then explained to me over and over until I really understood.


(I tried my best even though I don’t know much about autism and the proper terminology. I hope this helps.)

A: 'How should (they/he/she/I) approach the autism patient?' makes more sense.
