People with autism have different needs than healthy functioning people.

I both understand and don't understand this. I feel like there isn't enough of a clear distinction to segment all the kids that "show autistic behaviors"...and what if those behaviors are just temporary behaviors the kid is going through? People's thoughts and behaviors change throughout life.

Besides maybe needing different teaching methods for language, what other needs would necessitate this label? Especially higher functioning autistic adults that seem to have been doing fine before they were assigned this label.
