Treating autism is not easy. Behavior therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy provide initial treatment. Medication can be given if needed. The purpose of behavior therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy is to speak to the child in his language and to make his mind fully awake.
If properly done on these therapies, the child gets cured to some extent. He stops acting strangely. Becomes involved in sports with other children. The habit of saying the same word or thing, again and again, is lost.
Therefore parents are advised to spend maximum time with the child. Understand his body language. Try to talk to them. The biggest thing to note is that even a child with autism can lead a normal life.
