Hello! I have recently found out that my friend’s child is autistic. I can’t say I know much about this disorder but I try to do my best to help them. I know autism can’t be cured but I know that symptoms can be improved by good therapy. What are best therapies for autism?

Hello! There is no “one size fits all” therapy and it varies from child to child. I think that a combination of home-based and school-based treatments are the best. The doctor will help identify what may work for your friend’s child. Treatment options may include behavioral and communication therapy and drug therapy. Children with autism often respond well to well structured education programs.
