Today, while at my friend's house, I noticed her brother had a bit of an accent. I laughingly said "Is it me or does your little brother have an accent?" She stared and replied with "No, he has autism." FML

Alright, op, let me be the sympathetic one: if an "accent" is all you noticed, chances are that her brother is a high-functioning autistic. Autism varies from person to person. My step-mother works in SPED and gets a lot of autistic students in her classes. Some are high-functioning - I wouldn't have known there was anything different about them right away. Others have autism so severe that they can't make eye-contact or speak. My own step-brother is autistic and falls somewhere between the two. You did nothing offensive, you just felt a little humble afterward. That being said; My little brother and I were born and raised in Texas and he has a Boston accent.

people with autism don't have "accents." You failure. There's an obvious difference in the two speech impediments.

Neither an accent or autism is a speech impediment. People may have speech impediments inherantly due to autism.

89 if I can ask without sounding rude or stupid, if you are mute, what sort of voice do you hear in your head when you read? I mean, because, I hear my own voice. :P

Quest_ - I can't really speak for #89, but if I were mute, I would read everything in Morgan Freeman's voice. Actually, sometimes I do that anyway.

Maybe OP had never heard an autistic person before. It can sound like someone with autism has an accent at times.
