The
only cure for Autism is the acceptance of others’ individuality, embracing of
differences, and celebration of neurodiversity.
There are many treatments
available to help a person on the Spectrum become more independent.
The earlier a person’s Autism
is identified, the earlier treatments can begin, increasing his or her chances
of developing coping skills.
Teaching the person with Autism
appropriate behaviors to replace inappropriate behaviors, and teaching the
individual to recognize his or her own behaviors and make the necessary
adjustments, can lead to a more independent.
Occupational therapy can help a
person learn to manage sensory issues, and physical therapy can help with
movement. Speech therapy is
used to help develop communication skills and social skills. Social Skills groups are designed to
facilitate social interaction in a non-judgmental and non-threatening
environment.
Medications can be used to
treat co-occurring conditions, but there are no medications specifically for
the treatment of Autism.
