There is a spectrum of Autistic disorders (ASD), in other words, not every child with this diagnosis is the same. The behavior of the child can be abnormal and he/she finds it difficult to react normally to the things happening around them. The thought process is also affected and the kid might not be able to understand things properly.
Autism makes a kid very vulnerable and fearful. It can result in situations where the kid would not be able to find the appropriate words while speaking or can be completely non verbal.The kid would not be able to interpret the things happening around him like sense of light, color, weather and temperature. Autism can be treated by providing a safe and secure environment for the kid to grow.
Regular counseling, and treatment with utmost care are the best ways. Psychologists and therapists help kids to learn in a special way so that they understand all the things around them. Working in a group with kids, group tasks, social skill development can help. Some kids even need help in performing basic tasks like bathing, brushing, dressing up etc.To treat Autism, the parents and the therapists, both are required to show highest level of patience as the only thing which a kid suffering from Autism needs is your time
