I do not have autism. But i have a friend at school years back, who was diagnosed with autism. And i admit i am ignorant to autism. now i have a few questions to be answered, if there even is answers to them.

1. Can an Autistic child or teenager, but open to only one person, and then be anti-social to everyone else?

2. My friend has lots of headache. Is that caused by autsim? or lack of sleep due to autism?

and last. Can Autism be something that is developed, not something necessarly born with? can it be caused by trauma?

1.In my experience yes, some autistic people are very closed to most people but are comfortable around one or a few other people and will be more open with them.

2.Unsure, could be.

3.I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure.

Dude that was fast haha, thanks

Your welcome.

1. Yes. (I have proven this to myself.)

2. Autism itself doesn't cause headaches; however, many autistic people have problems with sleep and your friend may have headaches as a side effect of not sleeping well. This is only one of many, many possible causes, though.

3. Developed = I don't personally believe so, but it's often debated about in the autism community. Autism can't be caused by trauma, though several other mental disorders can.

In my experiences...

1. Absolutely yes.
2. No.
3. I personally believe it's something one is born with, but no one knows for sure.

My answers are

1. Yes. I have a few good friends and that's it, and it's also how I like it.

2. I have as many headaches as the average person.

3. Autism is a developmental disorder that you're born with. It's not an illness that develops as you get older.

I am not anti-social to anyone but seem to be breaking most aspie stereotypes. The answer is yes.

Headaches can be caused by anxiety and stress which is common among aspies. The lack of sleep can be caused by a very active mind which is also common among aspies.
I have both of these problems.


I think that autism is something you are born with but a traumatic event could very possibly give you a false diagnoses of aspergers.
If a child is hit in the head as a baby than that may cause it. I'm not so sure.
