Permission? Granted by author.
In the aftermath of the second Voldemort war, the necessity arose for a new ward at St. Mungo's -- one that catered specifically to the unique needs of the veterans, from both sides of the struggle.
He passes through the lobby into the elevators. Six floors to deal with every magical malady or injury wizarding kind can concoct. And then the new, seventh floor, where Ron works. Top floor, plenty of windows to let the sunshine in; another, more useful, legacy of generous donations and reparations.
The waiting room outside the Albus P.W.B. Dumbledore Memorial Ward for Veterans’ Long-Term Care is bright and airy. Bowls of candy in shiny paper sit on the coffee tables together with glossy copies of the newest Witch Weekly and Quidditch Now! A life-sized portrait of the old headmaster twinkles merrily beside the main entrance.The ward is separated into two ( ... )

Idea found in: Harry Potter and the Polka Dot Plague (or here)
Permission? Not sought
Magical equivalent of measles (or other childhood contagious deceases). There's obligatory vaccination in the Wizarding word to prevent it. The outer features of the decease are polka dots on skin. The inner - it messes with magic, so that any magical cure that might be otherwise considered must be declined because the results are unpredictable. The older a wizard the harder he suffers. As a treatment, they use Muggle medicine.
Harry hasn't been vaccinated because his parents had died before they would have done it. Snape wasn't vaccinated either. So they suffer together in a closed ward in the Hogwarts Infirmary.

Permission? Granted by author, though credit would be nice
It is likely autistics in the wizarding world would still be looked on as aberrations or freaks, and placed apart from the rest of society. They would be kept in a private ward and given constant attention to keep them from using magic. It is stated in the books that wizards can accidentally let off a spell when they are emotional without realizing it - Harry blowing up his aunt is probably the best example - so the ones who would not be able to be trained and would only have random fits of magic at their disposal would not be seen as desirable members of the outside world.
Autistic wizards would almost definitely be forbidden from using magic at all, let alone remain a part of the normal populace.

Permission? Not granted/sought.
(1) Ron receives his healer's training during a three-year course of study at the prestigious Healer's Academy.
There is mention of a homecare mediwitch whose robes don't "bear the traditional St. Mungo’s insignia; since Malfoy is the patient, and pays Ron directly for his services, this indicates a two-tier medicare system in the wizarding world -- public, or private if you can afford it.
Though it is unclear whether or not Ron is officially associated with St. Mungo's (a place Malfoy avoids because of his desire for "privacy"), his stationary letterhead bears the title Obscure Hexes Division. Much is made of the fact that while the Dark Arts and obscure hexes are not part of the normal accepted Healer training, Ron has become an expert in these fields after the war.
(2)In the story, Draco is suffering from a dark curse named Persona Immunata. As Ron explains:
Persona immunata is ( ... )

The illness in question is contageous like normal flu but it's a magical decease that works on wizards in a peculiar way. Quote: The last few days before the Christmas holidays (which Harry was forced to take, even though he offered to work them because, really, he didn't have much family or a reason to stay home, by himself, and watch reruns of sitcoms and football matches) it seemed half the Auror Department came down with Augur's Flu, which was rather like normal Flu, only the symptoms during the first 24 hours were uncontrollable premonitions of the future, usually shrieking that the world would end or that Caesar would die ( ... )
