I have watched an autistic child in the past and am very familiar with the condition. I started watching him when he was 2 and watched him until he was 4. I loved him but I moved back to Ohio from Arkansas and had to quit the job. He had in home therapy and I learned a lot from the therapists. I watched him come so far from being non verbal to talking full sentences. It's amazing what they can accomplish and I'm comfortable with watching another child with autism.
