Autism
- With good therapy, social support from family members, and in-depth knowledge about autism, the child can be given a self-reliant and independent life.
- This is a social communication disorder in which a person is unable to communicate their emotions and thoughts to others in a normal way.
- Nowadays, most parents don’t accept the notion that their child has autism, and because of the misconceptions ingrained in their minds, they ignore neurologists’ advice and deny their child treatment. Children often come for treatment after the age of five, when treatment is more protracted.
Many people believe that any therapy can improve a child with autism. In fact, experts from different disciplines come together to determine a therapy plan for any child with autism, keeping in mind their problems, by making an assessment and providing therapy accordingly.
- It also happens that many children are labeled with autism without deep examination, and thus, other children with true autism are missed. Due to this, about 90% of children with primary autism do not need detailed investigation, but secondary – 10% – children need necessary investigation.
- Some people believe that their child got autism because of vaccination. No, many studies have shown that vaccines are safe and do not cause autism. Please get your child vaccinated without any false fear of autism (MMR, Covid)
- Stem cell therapy cannot cure autism, as this is still under preliminary research.
- Special medicines, mushroom oxygen therapy, chelation therapy, heavy metals, etc., cause great harm instead of benefit in autism.
- Autism can only be cured with therapy provided by a team of experts and support for necessary medicines.
