How should autism be treated?

Patient's question:

The child is already three years old and has narrow interests. Their behavior is rigid and repetitive. They often focus intently on certain games or activities for extended periods, such as being obsessed with jumping on pots or spinning around on the ground. They enjoy watching TV commercials and weather forecasts but show no interest in animated shows with storylines, children's TV, or movies. How should autism be treated?

Doctor's answer:

From the situation you described, your child is already three years old, with narrow interests and rigid, repetitive behaviors. They often focus intently on certain games or activities for extended periods, such as being obsessed with jumping on pots or spinning around on the ground. They enjoy watching TV commercials and weather forecasts but show no interest in animated shows with storylines, children's TV, or movies. It is likely that your child may have autism. I suggest taking them to a large children's hospital or a psychiatric department at a major psychiatric hospital for further examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive early intervention or systematic treatment.
