Question
In school or when encountering strangers outside, the child says nothing at all, and no matter how others ask, they do not speak. What should be done about this symptom of autism?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric autism generally requires a comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine approach. The main treatment plans include meridian acupoint massage, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and dietary therapy. On the basis of correct diagnosis, Chinese medicine practitioners and institutions have formulated reasonable acupoint formulas, combined with rich massage techniques, and conducted acupoint massage treatment for autistic children, achieving relatively ideal therapeutic effects. The progress of patients is particularly fast. Many children can attend regular schools and gradually integrate into normal children after treatment.
