Autism is a complex neurobehavioral disorder that includes impairments in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills combined with rigid, repetitive behaviors. The main objective of the study was to explore autism care, treatment and challenges in Ethiopia Catholic Church Missionary (Brothers) autism center. To achieve this objective a descriptive design was employed. Both primary and secondary data were used to empirically analyze the issue. The primary data was gathered from both employees of the center and its beneficiaries (9) through semi structured interview. The empirical finding of this research indicates that the center includes autistic from the street and women and children’s affairs office. Though there is certain improvement on the awareness of the society, still autistic persons are neglected. The care services in the center are only feeding, washing, and other external activities. They rarely work on the development of skills towards the children. |
