Is It "Autism" or "autism"?

Close , but not good enough , I think it should be written in a bigger font and red


"I might have AUTISM"

Yes that’s true (kind of) but it still depends where in a sentence that is written.

No it shouldn’t. It should be written on an appropriate font and colour for the media for which it is intended. As an example of the word “autistic” may be used with a capital letter in large red gothic font if a used in a sentence such as “Autistic people are pissed off with continually been told we are the victims of MMR vaccines” if this statement was tattooed cross the forehead of Andrew Wakefield or Donald Trump. In the middle of a sentence of a scientific paper it should of course be in the same colour, font and size as the rest of the document. (Unless this is a heading of some kind.

I typically capitalize Autism, but I like capitalizing the first letter of certain words because it makes my sentences feel more organized. It's probably not grammatically correct.
