All autistic people are geniuses – Myth. Just under half of all people with an autism diagnosis also have a learning disability. Others have an IQ in the average to above average range. 'Savant' abilities, like extraordinary memory, are rare. #FactsFriday #YNAA

Some autistic people don't speak – fact. Some autistic people are non-verbal and communicate through other means. However, autism is a spectrum condition, so everyone’s autism is different. #FactsFriday #YNAA

Autism is a mental health problem – Myth. Autism is a developmental disability. It’s a difference in how your brain works. Autistic people can have good mental health, or experience mental health problems, just like anyone else. #FactsFriday #YNAA

Autism affects both boys and girls – fact. There is a popular misconception that autism is simply a male condition. This is false. #FactsFriday #YNAA
