Autism is a poorly understood and obscure condition. This article clarifies some of the diverse causes and symptoms of the condition. The role of the physiotherapist in the treatment of the autistic child has not been explored in South Africa and the author offers some suggestions as to the areas in which physiotherapy could be of use.
