That's one thing to never take an autistic child to. Many parents have risked taking their autistic child to ABA therapy or therapies similar to ABA because seeing their child is nonverbal or they stim a lot, they have a hard time with communication. Autistic children do learn to communicate when they get older, but they still need to stim. ABA is something that prevents that and forces them to look normal. Most autistic children had experienced abuse from ABA. ABA takes away the energy in an autistic child. If autistic individuals are not allowed to stim- that even cause them to have lack of energy.

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.
