[Serious] Autistic people of Reddit, what do you wish more people knew about Autism?

I’m 15, i have autism, only my friends and family know, I wished that some people don’t make fun of autism! Whenever I’m sitting next to the annoying kids in class they would always call someone autistic, dyslexic or some silly names because they’re doing their work instead of communicating when we’re not supposed to. My school doesn’t really help that much with autistic people, once in a while they might let me sit in the library for a lesson so I can do my work without people around me being silly, but that’s mostly it. Sometimes I wish that I didn’t have autism since I can’t stand the smell of most foods. I wish that people would understand what autism is, so if they call someone autistic they would realise what they actually JUST called them. (Haha sorry if there’s punctuation mistakes or spelling mistakes i always see loads of punctuation in these things and I just wanted to join in with it)
