Diagnosis
Any of these red flags does not mean your child has autism. But
because thedisorders symptoms vary so widely, a child showing these
behaviors should be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team. This team
might include a neurologist, psychologist, developmental pediatrician,
speech/language therapist, learning consultant or other professionals
who are knowledgeable about autism.
Treatment
There is no cure for ASDs.
Educational/behavioral interventions: Therapists use highly structured and intensive skilloriented training sessions to help children develop social and language skills, such as Applied
Behavioral Analysis. Family counseling for the parents and siblings of children with an ASD
often helps families cope with the particular challenges of living with a child with an ASD.
