How do you know if an autistic child is sexually abused by a direct caretaker?

I am sorry that this has happened to some one you know. This is an extremely difficult subject for many to deal with.
I would look at the inter actions between the two. What has changed recently in the child's behavior? Have you seen the two interact before? How has it changed? Is the child afraid to be with the caretaker? Is the caretaker overly attentive to the child? Look at the child's face and eyes when the child is interacting with the suspected caretaker? What do the eyes and face show?
Find a therapist who specializes in sexual abuse and has had some experience with disabled children, especially with autistic children. Seeking out a child advocacy center can help. Talk to Autism support groups for possible reference sources. Contact the local authorities also. Talk to adult sexual abuse survivors maybe they can give some insights or information that may be helpful.
I hope this is not true. If you suspect this is true, contact child protective services so they can conduct an investigation. The emotional damage caused by such actions can take years to deal with. Unfortunately, the autistic child's recovery could take longer and be incredibly frustrating for the family members to watch this recovery process take place. I think with lots of love and lots of time some of the damage might be lessened. I am truly sorry this is happening. I wish nothing but the best for the child and you.

Of course! Most autistic people are verbal, those who are non-verbal are normally non-verbal as a direct result of their autism not a physical disability that is preventing them from speaking - thus there is no implant that would help them to talk.

How do animal caretakers benefit animals?
Animal caretakers, such as zookeepers and good pet owners will pay close attention to the history and needs of an animal so that specific and direct care can be given appropriately to the animal.To put it simply,any animal caretaker can feed an animal and clean its cage. a good animal caretaker will go above and beyond.let's take a parrot for example.An average caretaker will feed the parrot give it fresh water, clean the cage etc..A great caretaker will pay attention to the types of food the parrots like...is he eating more peanuts than blueberries, is he getting pudgy does he look dehydrated?He/she will play with animal, challenge it, change its food by giving it different types of food,cut in different ways (crunchy soft sweet etc..) If the animal was abused the caretaker will allow plenty of time for the animal to slowly trust its new owner.The animal will interact with other animals or people, different toys will be put in its cage, it will have new and interesting experiences each day...this is called enrichment.If the animal is ill or sick, if you notice feathers fading or the beak is overgrown you take care of it.The number one rule- DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR ANIMAL!Animals experience constant change and action in the wild, so if a caretaker wants to make sure the animal is happy healty and safe, keep life fun! or else your animal will get bored, sad depressed and can even die.
