by petting them Autism it not an illness and it cannot be 'healed' by horses or by anything else. Autism is a condition that people are born with, being around horses and other animals may help an autistic person to integrate more with the 'outside' world but that is all.
No, not that I have ever heard. Autism is a human condition.
If they wern't why do people own them and love themso yes Horses are a passion. People ride them (They sit in a buggy the horse pulls) breed them, race them, and much more. Horses can also help people with Autism, it is a proven fact. I suggest reading something like Wild About Horses, it is a great book by Leonard something. Or A chicken soup book.

To provide help to those with autism.
Autism awareness is simply making people aware of autism and Autistic people. Unfortunately organizations such as Autism Speaks uses autism awareness to speak negatively about autism and Autistic people to increase their profits, thus there remains a lot of ignorance about autism.
There are autism and asperger's websites you can look up.
It would not be ethical or legal to do anything TO people who have autism.
Jim Sinclair founded the Autism Network International in 1992 in attempts to provide peer support, and help with coping with autism and aiding in problem-solving. The organization is actually run by people who suffer from autism.
A good organization is one that is lead by Autistic people themselves, for example Autistic Self Advocacy Network. A bad organization is one that works against Autistic people, for example Autism Speaks causes a lot of serious harm to Autistic people while claiming to help.
It helps with Autism and Hyppotherapy. It helps with communication and social skills. lowered sensory skills are raised when riding.
Yes people with autism do repeat them self's.
