Can we stop throwing around "autistic" for anything? Have people actually ever met autistic kids? It as nothing to do about having uncommon interest, it imply much more things then that.

Autism is a spectrum. Some autistic people are able to function somewhat normally while others might need help all their life. The term is certainly over used but it's possible to meet someone autistic without ever knowing it.
