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.
They were treated as criminals.
During the 1930s in America, women were treated as if they were valueless. Women were nothing in the eyes of men, and there was no equality between men and women. Women were second-class citizens. They were expected to stay home and raise their children and nothing more.
In the 1930's Autism wasn't a diagnosis at all, thus no child would be recognized as being Autistic as they would be today. An Autistic child would likely have been diagnosed with some other condition such as mental retardation and locked in a home of some sort.
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!
The parents of autistic children really have their work cut out for them.
