Whoever said this was a stupid question is in fact very uninformed on this subject. I have studied ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder) for many years and you could apply a variety of the traits to absolutely anybody. Autism is diagnosed when a person ticks many of the boxes in the long list of Autistic traits. Everybody would tick at least a few.
Those who think they are a world apart from Autistics are very badly informed. Chances are you know people who have it and don’t know because it isn’t as noticeable as people think. There are common misconceptions like 'Autistics don't communicate'. Which is not the truth for people with Aspergers (the most common form of autism) they are generally very communicative and articulate people.
And they aren’t “retarded”, in fact typically autistics (mostly people with Aspergers) have an above-average IQ… just had to correct that. I can't help being saddened, knowing as many people as I do with Autism (including a family member) by how many people make wrong assumptions about what it is.

This is such a serious question or at least it is for the carers of autism sufferers. We may all have an innate weakness, but I can assure you anybody with this syndrome would know, as would their carers - in most cases it is serious enough at least to be misunderstood at worst to be hospitalised. Now that just does not happen to every single one of us. We may have the odd trait, but not full blown autism or aspergers. Now that is TRUE. Anyway if you had a little bit of autism you would not be conversing with us. Count yourself lucky.

that could be fals etoo because you can not judge glably this theory. Think just about the cultural differences that make us all different in between.
So, I don`t think that is true. We can say just that it could be a potential latent residue in a majority of people.

i think so , as we all have the ability to go into our own world, and see things in 3d but unfortunately we have lost the ability to relax and use our minds, in the same way as someone with autism dose

I think that is true because all of us have at one time or another been self-conscious, suffered social anxiety, and felt clumsy or awkward....

It is possible--we all have certain sensory issues,and that is a big part of the autistic spectrum.
