What exactly is autism? In which parts a healthy person and an autistic person differ from?

It is insulting for you to be comparing a neurotypical person to a neurodivergent person as being ‘healthy” versus autistic.
Autism is a complicated multidimensional spectrum of disabilities ranging from hyper/hyposensitivity, executive function, emotional regulation, communication, etc.
Societal behavior forms a bell curve of what is considered socially “normal” (based on the center of the bell) and as it goes out to the edges of the bell you’ll find absolutely brilliant and capable people with relatively modest support needs–as well as wonderful people that need much more support–that have brains that simply are different from those in the center of the bell. Intelligence and health are *entirely* uncorrelated from being autistic versus neurotypical.
