Are autistic children disabled?

How can autism be dealt with?
It depends on which component of autism you are refering to. A deficit in language, socialization and language are typically present in order to get a diagnosis of autism. I am a behavioral interventionist and work with children with autism daily. I would highly recommend researching Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to gain more information. Essentially, ABA addresses each component of autism from a behavioral perspective and has been clinically shown to have significant effects on the treatment of children with autism. This is by far the most widely used method (behaviorally speaking) for children with autism.
