How did McCain keep getting this wrong!

I was under the impression Sara Palin's child had downs not autism. How could he keep screwing this up?

These are the direct quotes from the debate as you were waiting for the transcript.
She'll be my partner. She understands reform. And, by the way, she also understands special-needs families. She understands that autism is on the rise, that we've got to find out what's causing it, and we've got to reach out to these families, and help them, and give them the help they need as they raise these very special needs children. She understands that better than almost any American that I know. I'm proud of her.
And I just said to you earlier, town hall meeting after town hall meeting, parents come with kids, children -- precious children who have autism. Sarah Palin knows about that better than most. And we'll find and we'll spend the money, research, to find the cause of autism. And we'll care for these young children. And all Americans will open their wallets and their hearts to do so.
Again...I'm not sure how she understands Autism better than most? I've also looked for her work with autism and I've found none. I can understand her knowing the challenges of downs syndrome better than most, but not autism. I find it telling that John McCain doesn't know the condition of his running mate's child. Either he knows very little about her, or he can't remember the very important details that shape people's lives.
