Again, autism varies so much from individual to individual -- that's why they call it a spectrum. Sometimes it is very noticeable, other times it's not. By the same token, it's not like every autistic kid would need to be accompanied to the dressing room. Just like the severity for every person is different, every person with autism has different needs and challenges.
And no, they don't mean to be rude.
