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.

For those who are curious, my current way of explaining it is to say that he has a “mind that cannot forgets”
When he has sensory issues I say that it’s because he cannot get rid of the feeling of being touched even if the touch is over because it does not forget
When he has hyper focus on a special interest I say that is mind cannot get past it because his mind cannot forget.
Same thing with keeping things first degree, he cannot forget the actual definition of a word when hearing an expression.
