My older sister has autism it's not too bad, but it still affects her in ways =/
And um, I may have kinda inherited some of that autism... or something like that. It's a real shame, cause she really wants to do some things which she has difficulty with, such as playing video games. Yes I know that's not really important, but in ten years time it'll be something like an ATM machine! Kirsty is getting better, but she'll never completely get rid of autism
I think it was because she was born eleven weeks early! Not joking! And she was an inch from death when she was a baby. So yeah, I know a bit about autism.

^Just one little thing I wan to comment on.

Some people with Autism just CAN'T do certain things "normal" people can do, but that doesn't mean they can't get help, or they won't be able to. I couldn't for the longest time tie my shoes. But I was able to when I was seven or eight.

Your sister may not be very good at video games right now, but maybe have her play some easier games to get just the feel of certain games. Then slowly go to more challenging games. ^^ Maybe their is some fake atm thing she might want to practice with so she can understand those things better too.

For awhile I didn't have a bank account because I simply couldn't understand it and I just didn't care for money.
So my mom allowed me to have a "Parent Bank" thing for me to understand the concept of writing checks, putting them in my savings and those things.

People with Autism might have a slower time then others to do certain things, but that doesn't mean they CAN'T do it. Be patient with them, they're perfectionist people... They want to do things right and at that instant. One day they will understand that they aren't perfect people and that it's okay to make a mistake.

Lol, now I'm just rambling...anyhow I hope that helps ya.

Don't worry about that. I do not have any kind of autism, but I'm very anti-social in real life. I hardly even make new friends, the only friends I have are the ones I met when I was 6, and it was really hard to make them mah friends. It's because my personality is different than most girls and I'm a tomboy. And I don't have the best appearance ever. I bet you're more social than I am.

I have mild Aspergers Syndrome, it was behind me dropping out of school for over a year because I wasn't social at all. It's improved allot now & I've been back in school for almost 3 years, it's not all bad though, thanks to aspergers I have always been able to learn things faster than most, & I always have to finish things I start.

I used to have a kid that had Autism in my class =/
