Patient's question:
My aunt and her husband work away from home all year round, so my little nephew lives with his grandmother. When his grandmother takes him out to play, he doesn't talk to other children, and he doesn't get along with other kids at kindergarten either. The doctor said he has early childhood autism. Can early childhood autism be treated?Doctor's answer:
Autism in young children can be effectively treated. If this condition is caused by insecurity and a lack of parental love and care, parents need to provide more interaction with their children, play with them, or communicate with them, so that the children can feel their parents' love. Then, psychological counseling should be given to the child, which will gradually restore normalcy. It is recommended that adults should provide proper guidance, avoid hitting or scolding the child, and offer more love and care to the child.
