It depends where in the world they were. It ranges from living a dejected/shunned life to complete cure. Some places it was not tolerated, in others cured.
There are certain ancient practices which allow for easy treatment. It is said that most of the autistic cases are past life trauma. People knowledged and proper practitioners were able to assist those in need during the earlier days.
That true knowledge is mostly lost and fewer know it today. Hence modern medicine.
The reasons for autism consist a wide area. It can be for myriad reasons. Trauma is a prominent one. Dejection is another.
Treating autism in childhood is the best option. As the individual grows, patterns:- mental and physical get set and become harder to resolve. At that stage more serious medication will be needed. During childhood however, many a time it can be accomplished using no such or bare minimal medication.
In the earlier days people only had what was on hand. This day of information was not available to them. So they paid more attention to their surroundings and did what they could, if they could gather a solution they did. If they could not they let live.
Also, in earlier years experienced autism was one-forth of what it is today.

Do down syndrome suffer from low self esteem?
Although this condition contains the word "down," it's a person's name, not an emotion like "feeling down." It was named after John Langdon Down, who discovered this syndrome back in the 1860s. Down's syndrome (also called Down syndrome) is a form of mental retardation or intellectual delay; people who have it also look different (their face is shaped differently), and some have a speech impediment.Unfortunately, there are some cruel people who make fun of children who have this condition, and that certainly makes these kids feel bad. Children with Down's syndrome have all levels of disability-- some are only mildly delayed, speak understandably, go to school and get a job; while others are very much delayed and require help with almost everything they do throughout their life. But no child deserves to be teased and bullied: kids with Down's syndrome are often very sweet and affectionate and they hate it when people are cruel to them. So, yes some of them might suffer from low self esteem, but not from their condition-- from the fact that some people make fun of them for having it.
Why is Down syndrome not always correctly detected in pregnancy tests?
Pregnancy screenings for Down syndrome have a 5-8% false positive rate (test comes back positive, but the baby does not have Down syndrome) and a 35-40% false negative rate (test is negative, but baby has Down syndrome). This is due to a number of different factors that the screening depends on, such as the mother's age and weight, the age of the fetus, etc. Since the tests results come back as risk factors- the chance that the baby will have Down syndrome, for example 1 out of 270- and there is usually an arbitrary cutoff, such as 1 in 250, where the test counts as a "positive", this is why sometimes it is not correct. The "positive" or "negative" depends on chance, and obviously a high chance the fetus has Down syndrome does not necessarily mean it does have it.

If you didn't have a 1st-trimester screening and your blood levels came back positive for a Down syndrome baby - does that mean for sure that your baby has Down syndrome?
The blood test screening for Down Syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities which is done at about 16 weeks of pregnancy offers you a 'risk assessment', not an absolute answer and there are many false positives. If you have a high risk of your baby having a chromosomal anomaly, you will be offered an amniocentesis which will give you a definite answer by finding chromosomes in the fluid around the baby.
