Abstract
This paper reviews childhood autism, a serious psychopathological disorder, with emphasis placed on aetiology and management; and outlines briefly the care of the autistic population in a few well organized programmes existing in Jamaica. There is a need for increased awareness, local research and dissemination of information to appropriate personnel and organizations.
