Question

How can training alleviate autism? The patient is a 5-year-old boy who has been in good health until now, with symptoms including not talking, ignoring others, and repeating the same topics.

Answer

The optimal treatment period for childhood autism is between 3 to 6 years old. If not treated promptly, it may lead to lifelong disabilities and even loss of self-care abilities. Even with high-quality education later on, complete social adaptation may still be unattainable. Parents should early detect the child’s three core symptoms: social interaction disorders, language communication disorders, and stereotyped repetitive behaviors or narrow interests, so as to intervene early. There is currently no effective medication or Radical Cure method, but early detection and active participation in education and training can help improve the child’s abilities. Parents should actively cooperate with experts and keep a record of the child’s development to provide the best treatment and education.
