I know someone so severely autistic that at 7 years old he has no idea what the word breathing means, but he knows what the word food means, as that's what's said when there's food on the table for him to eat.

He can recognise people but he cannot read whether they're happy or sad. He can eat food but he has no idea that food has to be cooked or brought.

He spends most his time smiling and walking around, and laughing at the Boobah tv show which is for 3 year olds.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
