  I've never met an autistic person. But I've seen plenty of
  self-proclaimed psychologists on Usenet diagnosing everyone
  under the sun! 

  The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can only be made by
  qualified professionals who actually know what they're doing and have
  the right training to spot the signs and symptoms. Usually, the whole
  process involves clinical observations, interviews, questionnaires,
  standardized tests, and a differential diagnosis. So yeah, even a
  qualified pro can't just throw out a diagnosis based on Usenet posts!

  No, wait, I /did/ have one student in a class once. Either
  the admin or he himself told me before the course started,
  "Heads up, autistic!" But honestly, I didn't see any of
  the behaviors you mentioned in him.
