Begin researching: Successful therapies in my practice include dietary changes (gluten free casein free), probiotics, cod liver oil, speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy. Chinese medicine, homeopathy have also led to some incredible improvements. Look for a dan (defeat autism now) doc near you.

Find a Doctor: Get a dr who is experienced in dealing with asd, & 1 that is willing 2 listen 2 your concerns. Also connect with support group of other parents, they have been there & can help share experience. Educate yourself about options for treatment. No treatment works for every child, but there are scores of options available. Some only work for 5% of kids, but u don't know until you try something.
