Autism doesn't change the human body, autism is a variation in the human body. Autism is a neurological difference, a person who is born Autistic has a different brain to that of a Neurotypical person.

When a person has Autism it can effect their appetite, making them not wanting to eat, or wanting to eat themselves to death. It can also make them need to organize their food, sorting so the food doesn't touch.

Autism is a neurological condition so primarily it effects the brain - physically it effects our senses so we are more sensitive to stimulation such as touch, smell, taste, light, sound, etc. and sensory stimulation can be uncomfortable or painful as a result. Many people with autism also suffer from gastrointestinal problems, but this isn't true for all.

Autism is a neurological difference, thus it primarily effects the brain.
But autism is a body-wide condition.

As it is neurological it effects how we perceive the world around us and how we interact with it. Autistic people often have sensory issues, meaning that we are more sensitive to touch, taste, smell, and sight so certain sensations may be pleasurable and others may be uncomfortable or even painful. Autistic people often have issues with sensory perception so we can be clumsy. As many as 1 in 4 Autistic people, children especially, have bowel problems or digestive problems too.
