One of the prominent determinants to recognize someone has autism is impairment in some specific dimensions. They live in their own virtual world which is separate from the actual world. They have to go in the process of learning how to cope with, adapt, and relate to others and the world around them. The aim of the present study was to explore the degree of autistic children in Chittagong city of Bangladesh. For this purpose 115 already diagnosed autistic children aged from 3 to 16 years old were selected. The used instrument was Autistic Diagnostic Check List (Dr.Mallika Banerjee, 2007). There were 60 items which were categorized in six sub-groups, namely general observation, cognition, emotion, social, communication, sensory deficiency. Among the 115 children, 56 autistic children were in normal range and only 2 children were in severe range. Among them 73 were boys and 42 were girls and their mean scores for six sub-groups did not differ significantly. Finally, the six sub-groups seemed to be uniformly important in the understanding of autism symptoms.
