Do you think that autism should be taught to school students

I think in the very least schools could have a quick 45-minute assembly explaining autism awareness just to give students a general idea.. it's better than having them know nothing, and it's plenty time to get the important message across about autism.
Or, it could make it easier for NTs to fill in the blanks with guesses, then cling to these bizarre ideas. You know how they are.
I've no idea what an ideal solution would look like.

it would vary by community. In some communities it would be great. In other communities it would be we are diseased and a burden that need to cured phrased in flowery language, in other communities it will be we are mutants caused by vaccines. Look at the Jonathan Mitchell comments section if you disagree.
You know Autism Speaks will write the curriculum used by most.
