If you look at the original study done by Lovaas, he shows that out of two groups, one treated for autism and the other not of children with austim, 1/3rd of the children treated fully using Early Behavioral Intervention were indistinguishable from their peers. This means that 1/3rd could lead normal lives and were able to be a normal kid. The other 2/3rds did better than those in the untreated or less treated group. So the answer to your question is that if early intervention isn't done with a child with autism then they could miss out on learning the communication skills that lead to a more normal functioning life. I attatched the original artical for this study to the bottom of this post. If you need help finding resources to look up a local autism group for your area and possibly get help through one of the online parents and friends of a person with autism communities.

What should you do for your autistic child?
The best thing that you can do for your autistic child is to learn about autism from autistic people - completely and utterly ignore anything that organisations like Autism Speaks tells you about autism, they are known as a hate group by the autistic community and cause a lot of harm by spreading false information and negative messages about autism. Always presume competence and don't treat autism like it is a negative trait.

Is it possible for only one twin to develop autism?
Yes, it is possible. In one study, the chance that an identical twin has autism when the other does is 82%. That means that 18% of the identical twins did not have autism. It is much more likely that an identical twin will have autism if the other does than that a fraternal twin or other sibling will, but it does not happen every time.
