It is becoming increasingly more recognized today, however, there still remains bigotry and myths surrounding such a topic.
It would make without a doubt ever person with ASD's life much less difficult, and, with luck, end the idiots self-diagnosing themselves (which people with genuine ASD find infuriating). Apparently the word "ASD" is even so arcane that google chrome tried to claim it didn't exist.
The problem with schools for people with ASD is that the only treat the severely affected: those who are physically muted, terrified by crowds and find it physically painful even to go to the basic of places (such as a school playground).
There is a game which describes extreme forms of Autism rather well, and it is called "AutiSIM", and it's a free to play game on kongregate, so it is definitely worth your time looking up.
However, those who do not fall under such a category go to mainstream school. Even those with sever Asperger's.
However, the teachers at most schools only have a hazy vision of what it is. Some treat students with ASD like they're RETurned TARDigrades EDucation (remove lowercase letters, because of roblox filter), and, most disgusting of all, from personal experience I have witness several teachers take advantage of the fact that they cannot use words to defend themselves and start picking on them and punishing them when they are angry, even if they have done nothing wrong. The worst thing about this is, they get away with it under the excuse that "it is their teaching method".
Most unfortunately, said teachers do not know the majority of what is important about ASD, such as that some noises can be painful. I have also witness the very same autistic student get punished, in front of everyone else, for trying to get someone to stop making a noise with his chair that actually caused him physical pain.
The other students, in their same ignorance, simply accused him of lying that he had ASD. They thought it refereed to the very specific severely affected.
So they did it more. This autistic person told me sometimes he wanted to take his chair and beat the teacher to death with it, or take his own LIghtning FErrets (also take away the underscore letters).
If people were just more educated, this just wouldn't happen.

I only know one person with ASD.
It would make pretty much everyone with ASD's life much easier, though. |

| What about people with other diseases? Teaching people about their diseases would make their life easier. There are too many people to worry about. |

| In my district, they have classes for those with mental disabilities. 30 students at my school have some form of mental disability. |

I'm autistic. People with minor autism like Asperger's (such as myself) are likely to "grow out of it." Of course I will always be eccentric and perhaps even intimidated around large groups of people...but you can be taught to become more comfortable naturally and through discipline. For minor autism, I don't think they should be separated, but instead learn how to work ourselves into the system. In all fairness, I could never change an entire class for my own sakes. I had to make sacrifices and I do not regret it.
On a side note, I very easily adapted to social communication because I have a twin . It's not very easy to be a loner with a wombmate, in sheer honesty. |

There should be a section in Physical Education/Health class that talks about mental disorders such as Autism.
...And on that note, PHYS ED SHOULD BE A REQUIRED COURSE! |

| In the U.S.A., they're replacing Asperger's with obesity as a mental disorder. Welcome to our world! |

Physical Education was awful when I had to take it (Required in Grade 9)
Nothing was learnt, we just ran in circles around the gym for an hour |

@LocalTrends "People with minor autism like Asperger's (such as myself) are likely to "grow out of it." No.
Some aspects can be taught to be dealt with (i.e the fear of crowds & social interaction) with necessary therapy.
However, the overstimulation of senses cannot be overcame.
@fellex
Interesting. Of course, if some of those people were autistic, it would be a very severe form.

Exactly.
All I want is at least one lesson.
This lesson only needs to be half an hour long.
It would solve a multitude of problems. |

Yes, it was obviously they had some form of it.
In my Homeroom, somebody has it (I think), but he has normal classes. |

| How can you tell me that I'm wrong if I'm an example of somebody who can grow out of it? I *never ever* hugged an adult from age 2 until 15. Maybe certain people are different cases, maybe they change later. Either way, I do know for a fact that I have been taught, grown up, and learned from my experiences the hard way and can now function well in society without any problems. Occasionally, albeit rarely I will have a bad inner scene in a wide open place with many people like a mall. Other than that, I went from bad to fine over the years |

| All you have to do in Phys Ed is just play a dang game all period and then you get 100%. I would see health being required, but not Phys Ed. |

| I've also grown out of habits from my autism that I had as a kid. Wouldn't talk to people taller than me for a while because I felt intimidated. While some habits are gone, I've developed new ones. I don't trust males very easily, but I do with women. |

No, it's perfectly real.
However, people who self-diagnose make it sound as if it isn't real. |

"How can you tell me that I'm wrong if I'm an example of somebody who can grow out of it?"
I didn't say that what you said was wrong in its entirety. I said some aspects cannot be helped, however, a great majority can.
"Maybe certain people are different cases"
Wonderful self-contradiction you have there.
"Either way, I do know for a fact that I have been taught, grown up, and learned from my experiences the hard way and can now function well in society without any problems."
Isn't this what I said previously about the majority of things that can be said for autism?
"Occasionally, albeit rarely I will have a bad inner scene in a wide open place with many people like a mall"
Another good self-contradiction.
"Other than that, I went from bad to fine over the years"
Basically what I said about the majority of autistic traits.

| When did she say that she completely dropped habits? You're dealing in a concrete fashion. Those aren't self-contradictions, especially if you believe in them. |
