Eli5 : What is Autism?

629 views

Ok so quick context here,

I really want to focus on the “explain like Im five part. ”
I’m already quite aware of what is autism.

But I have an autistic 9 yo son and I really struggle to explain the situation to him and other kids in simple understandable terms, suitable for their age, and ideally present him in a cool way that could preserve his self esteem.

Dont be afraid to talk to him like an adult, leave out the very complex words but a 9 yr old can understand more than u expect.

Just be honest, dont sugar coat it.
