The paper attempts to closely look and analyse the reasons for the sudden surge in reported autistic children. Research has thrown up extremely interesting reasons, basically related to hereditary factors, environment, state of mothers during natal and prenatal condition. The emphasis on dealing with the disorder is related to prevention, managing, and helping the patient to lead a near normal life. Cure and reversal of the disorder has not yet seen the light of the day. But hope and faith in science could throw up possibilities in this sphere in the near future.
