Question
My child is 4 years old and was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder last month. He doesn’t speak and can only say simple single words or syllable combinations. It’s very distressing to see. Other children can speak so much, but my child can’t. He’s currently undergoing rehabilitation training. What other treatment options are available for pediatric autism spectrum disorders?
Answer
For children with autism spectrum disorders, it’s best to consult a psychologist and receive appropriate medication treatment under their guidance. Additionally, it is recommended to engage in psychological therapy, encouraging more communication with the child, taking him out to play with other children, and gradually improving his condition. It is also suggested to incorporate rehabilitation exercises for the child, ensuring he drinks plenty of water, consumes more vegetables and fruits, and undergoes regular physical examinations.
