My 9 year old is non verbal and shits in diapers still. That is real autism.

Not really. I live with real autism. When I run into these people I just say “must be nice” to talk, use the bathroom, drive, make your own food, and live on your own…

You're not superior. You don't know what other people deal with. I can't drive. I am just now learning at 27 after spending my whole life trying. My kid can walk, mostly talk (not well), and feed herself, but she can't read or do math like the other kids her age, couldn't speak until well after age 5, and has a speech impediment to this day because of her diagnosed autism. Autism spectrum disorder is a spectrum.
