how to treat people with Autism?

Treat with respect and love. Encourage them to be proud of who they are, and not what they aren't.

I am Autistic myself, and I am proud of who I am. I don't fit in, I am who I am.

I wish you luck:)

You seem like a good friend:)

I think what she is referring to, is that she doesn't want people to get angry with him, criticize him, etc. Thus, if he is more difficult to communicate with, then understand that it is due to a biological problem. Most with autism have difficulty with abstract thoughts, needing things to be in black and white. They may not get jokes or concepts. Like if I say "do you know what I mean?" They may not reply the gist of what I am saying. They would more likely repeat what I am saying. But, there is a range of symptoms. There are many variances. I think it's best to just be friendly, and then kind of observe to see what he is like, so you will know how to communicate with him. Some don't talk and some are difficult to tell apart from those without autism. Some common things you might see are anxiety and easily frustrated.

Treat her brother as you would anyone without autism. Try to understand his limitations but at the same time, don't act as if he doesn't understand you. He does. He just cannot express himself the way most people do. She is probably expecting you to pay more attention to him.

Just treat them like everybody else.

Our daughter is a special ed major,she always tells people to treat them like normal adults.

Hope this helps you out.
