A person suffering from autism develops selective hearing, and takes long to digest sound according to neurologists at Mulago hospital. The person suffering from the condition of autism is called an autistic.

His or her memory starts to regress and forgets all that he or she had learnt in the past. Sometimes the doctors may recommend giving them medication that would calm them if the people they stay with want peace. But when the medication is administered however, it only makes them weaker.

In case of an autistic child, there is a need to get in touch with a special needs children teacher, who is also a speech and language therapist. The best speacial needs teachers and experts in austism are trained at University of Southwales, UK, according to Dr. Fred Sembatya, a specialist in special needs education.

The doctors say that it is not good to administer milk and sugar on persons/children living with autism.  Many of the autistic persons have an autism spectrum disorder. Autism is a development disorder. Currently no one in the world knows its exact cause or treatment. The doctors simply deal with its symptoms that are behavioural.

There are autistic who are verbal and those who are not verbal. Some of the autistic are are hyper-sensitive to sound. You can speak to them and they block their ears. Some have concentration disorders and attention Deficit Disorders (ADD). Others have Attention Deficit hyper active disorder (ADH).

Many autistic children exhibit aggression as a symptom of their condition. Autistic are fond of biting, scratching, kicking, hitting, and throwing objects at people.
