The development of fine motor in children with autism treated by the parents and by the baby sitter is relatively different in its stimulus provision. Several factors affecting fine motor stimulus in children with autism are the pattern of caring and the knowledge of those who take care of them. The objective of this study was to analyze the difference of care pattern and the development of fine motor between children with autism treated by the parents and those by the baby sitter. This study used comparative design with purposive sampling. Sample size was 14 individuals, comprising 7 parents and 7 baby sitters of children with autism. The independent variables in this study were caring pattern and the knowledge of the parents and baby sitter. The dependent variable was the level of fine motor development in children with autism taken care by the parents and the baby sitter. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rho and Chi-Square tests with significance level of < 0.05. This result revealed no difference in fine motor development between children with autism treated by the parents and those treated by the baby sitter with = 0.460 (care provider's observation) and = 0.393 (teacher's observation). Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that fine motor development in children with autism treated by the parents and the baby sitter were relatively the same. This may result from several factors, such as the working load of the care providers, time intensity taken with the children, and the number of the children. It were suggested for the parents and the baby sitters who take care of children with autism to provide more attention on their fine motor development. If the problems of its development cannot be overcome, the advance of the therapy for those children may be impeded. For the next study it is suggested to aimed the correlation between fine motor development and IQ of children with autism.
