What is Autism exactly?

Looby Lou

Sorry to ask a dumb question - but I am none the wiser having read about it on the site - is it an actual physical thing to do with the braiin (a lady who is supporting me and my husband mentioned the hippocampus part of the brain is not so developed in people with autism).  

Its just I am unsure whether the condition is actually real for people like myself - maybe I am just an introvert, and mnay of the things mentioned in the obok I'm reading (Apsergirls) can be applied to a lot of women.

The term "neurodiverse" is used (as opposed to "neurotypical") - but what does this mean exactly?  Is it a neurological disease?

Thanks in advance.

    Ok, i just wondered if you were non tech admin type person or techie geek person Like me.

    so, if you work for a trust then they will have a proper HR department. Have you got a contact there who you can talk to about this? your managers are way out of line and need to be introduced to the legal framework that protects people like you and me.

    i'm assuming that you have disclosed your diagnosis to the trust.
