Is there any cure for autistic children?

Incorrect term: Cure is not the correct term and definitely not for those who have a genetic cause such as fragile x. You can, in some cases, make such significant improvements in the level of functioning that they no longer meet diagnostic criteria. This is more likely the younger the child at the time intervention begins and the more multifaceted the approach. Any delay deserves evaluation.

Lots of help availal: There is seldom a "cure" in that all symptoms disappear but there are many interventions that relieve many of the most distressing symptoms of autism in many children.

The Early Start Den-: Ver model is the only comprehensive early intervention model proven effective in reducing autistic behaviors & increasing cognitive, language, & adaptive skills when begun by 18-24 months & continued for at least 2 years at an intensity of 15 hrs./week by trained therapists + 5 hours:week by parents or caregivers. The goal is for the child's behavior to be indistinguishable from his peers'.

No cure but help: Some individuals with autistic traits, especially at young ages may improve over time; e.g., pdd. However, there is no "cure, but speciialized thera[ies, educational programs, behavioral techniques, social skills training, etc. Can help ameliorate symptoms. Medication can often help too.
