No - autism is a neurological condition, autistic children grow-up into autistic adults.
No, not all Autistic children are savants. Many Savants are Autistic, but most Autistic people are as normal as Neurotypical people with no particularly special talents.

No, Autistic children are not damaged so they do not need to be healed. Marijuana can help with Autism symptoms such as anxiety, but equally in some Autistic children it can make problems worse.
Feral children may act similar to severally autistic children, but the conditions are different. Autism is caused by genetics, feralism is caused by extreme neglect, so feral children are technically not autistic, though I've seen theories that say only autistic children are capable of figuring out on how to live in the wild, and therefor all feral would be autistic.
Autistic children can do many things that other children whom are not autistic do on a daily basis. I advise showing him/her how to do it safely and be patient with the child. Good luck!
No.
The parents of autistic children really have their work cut out for them.
Autistic children DO feel pain.
I wouldn't reccomend it. I have a severly autistic cousin. autistic children tend not to listen to instruction very well. I'de be afraid that the child would get hurt. Try either horse-back riding or music. They are many places where disabled children can ride and it really makes them happy and its safe. My cousin love smusic though. He connects with it very well and it helps him understand things better.
