Poor families with autistic children tend to fail to cater to the children's special needs, drastically reducing the chance of improvement.
"Autistic children need a special diet. Some cannot consume sugar, wheat flour, milk or food coloring, while others cannot break down proteins," said Ismunawaroh, the program head at Rumah Autis, a foundation catering to autistic children, especially those from low-income families.
Rumah Autis provides training and therapy for children with the special condition at low costs.
Dietary problems could lead to autistic children behaving more erratically or more hyperactively than usual, she said.
