Depending upon their needs, having a special ministry is a great help.
Offering support to the parents is beyond priceless as well.
For any reading this who are dealing with an S-Kid I offer these thoughts:
Diet is important, if they are reacting to something that they are eating...
(and they most likely are) then you can help them by removing the offending
substances.
things to look for: corn, wheat, ARtificial food Colors, milk (cow).
Yes there can be some complications from vaccines also, but I suspect it
is limited to those who have a genetic predisposition that makes them
vulnerable to it.
Sensory issues abound in the Autism Spectrum, btw.
Tactile, audible, visual...
these are smart kids, but they have an input/output problem and anything
that we can do to help them is a good thing.

You sound like you may be a psycologist or work in the field. What is your background, if you don't mind sharing.
My son has sensory issues as well. His school has a sensory room and he gets to go there nearly everyday. It helps him a lot. I'm interested in your comments about diet. You say they most likely are affected by something. Can you give examples of how we can spot an offending substance? What are they and what behaviors do they cause?
