Thats the answer.
Many autists are retards, but most of them just function and can have a normal life. I was in a relationship with an autistic bernadette for years. She worked a quiet office job and spent the rest of her time at home, not really liking interactions with people besides her family, me and two close friend. Every day and week had to be planned out or she panicked, when we cooked, everything had to follow the recipe exactly and had to be the same every time, she was stressed out by many things, but still, she just lived her life.
If you have down's syndrome, you might be a cheerful little retard, but you will need help with pretty much everything your entire life.
