Eli5 : What is Autism?

631 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.

The connections in the brain are physically wired differently, meaning that people with autism literally think differently to others, in some cases this can mean acting differently in social situations, in others it can mean being able to see solutions to problems that no one else can see. https://youtu.be/iSJ9tEzgoPg
