Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition identifiable by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. With a prevalence rate of 1 in 36, early detection is crucial. Key red flag symptoms include delayed speech, lack of eye contact, repetitive movements, and challenges in social interactions. Parents should consult their pediatrician or a clinical psychologist if they observe any developmental delays.
While numerous treatments such as stem cell therapy, oxygen therapy, camel milk, gluten-free diets, and medicinal treatments are often proclaimed, they
remain under ongoing research. To date, no treatment has been conclusively
established as a cure for autism. Claims suggesting otherwise can mislead parents, highlighting the importance of staying informed about current research to avoid exploitation, be it financial or emotional. The only scientifically proven approach to treating autism involves a blended remedial intervention, which includes speech therapy, occupational therapy, special education, behavior modification, and parental training. Additionally, addressing relevant medical symptoms through medicinal support, dietary adjustments, and physical activity is crucial. Attending a regular school and interacting with neurotypical peers, alongside reducing screen time, helps children better connect with their surroundings and facilitates socialization.
