- There are a number of treatments for autism (see below) and, when used properly, they improve the person's ability to deal with the day to day. Behavioral management therapy has the most evidence for treating symptoms of autism. The important thing is to find the right therapists with experience in each type of therapy. - - Behavioral management therapy. - Cognitive behavior therapy. - Early intervention. - Educational and school-based therapies. - Joint attention therapy. - Medication treatment. - Nutritional therapy. - Occupational therapy
Unfortunately there's no cure for autism. But the are was to treat it. The main goal of treatment is to maximize your child's ability to function by reducing autism spectrum disorder symptoms and supporting development.
