Autism affects how people act and communicate in social situations, such as when you are in class, at the mall, or in the cafeteria. This causes them to have more difficulty talking or interacting with you than some of your other peers. Despite this challenge, they are still a lot like peers their age. They probably share the same interests as you and your friends, such as sports, computer games, reading, or watching movies. Kids with autism want to be treated like any other classmate.
