ask yourself, "Is it ok for a 13 year old left to watch a 8 year old", the autism part shouldn't make a difference.

This really depends on the children. If the 13 year old is very mature and is capable (and willing) to look after this child, then there shouldn't be a problem.

I am sorry but i have to disagree, autism does change a lot. If the 13 year old is related to the autistic child then yes...because he or she may know what to do if the child should through a severe tantrum! I have a younger sister who is 6 but has a mind of a 2 year old....i wouldn't dare leave her alone with anyone that doesn't know her personally...

No - no one can 'get rid' of autism. Autism is a neurological difference...the only way to 'get rid' of autism then would be to 'get rid' of a persons brain, which obviously isn't an option. Although autism can be a disability for many it can also be an advantage to many, even if a 2 year old is severely affected by their autism they may improve over time.

Is it safe for a parent to leave a two year old with a twelve year old alone in the house?

No, a two year old moves pretty fast and thinks of things to that a 12 year might not be ready for. The 12 year old would have to be a VERY responsible and watch the younger child without fail. Not play with computer games, talk or text on the phone, not leave the 2 year old alone. It is amazing how fast a 2 year old can think of some thing to do and get hurt in the process. Someone older, closer to 15 would be better for the job.
