Autism is an identity, and a medical diagnosis. Autistic people have a different brain structure. Autistic people experience senses differently, think differently, and often communicate differently to a neurotypical person. Autistic people are often disadvantaged socially, and can experience a lot of social isolation and communication problems, and are often affected by audism. Autistic people can have difficulty understanding speech. Sign languages like Auslan and Makaton are often used by Autistic people to communicate better. This is one way Autism, or Autistic identity is commonly signed by Autistic people in Sydney and Melbourne in recent years (as of 2019). The older sign coming from the head down to the chest is considered offensive by some Autistic people for conveying a Selfish or Antisocial sort of idea.
