Question

What are the good treatment methods for autism?

Answer

Autism comes in different types, ranging from mild to severe. There is no specific treatment method at present. Some patients may gradually alleviate symptoms as they grow older, but severe cases may be affected by normal brain function, making it difficult to heal and possibly leading to lifelong conditions. However, with specialized teachers and special educational methods, autistic individuals can gradually adapt to normal life. Comprehensive treatment is very important when dealing with children with autism spectrum disorder, with education and behavioral therapy being the most critical components. The aim of these treatments is to promote normal behavior in children through education, especially in controlling social behavior, improving abnormal behavior, and eliminating associated symptoms such as sleep disorders, irritability, and hyperactivity.
