Autism treatment

Autism is a complex behavioral disorder that is accompanied by a complex of neuropsychiatric and psychological developmental disorders. It is expressed as a pronounced deficit of emotional displays and communication disorders. According to recent studies in the United States, autistic disorder is present in 1 out of 44 children.

In addition to behavioral disorders, many patients have somatic health problems affecting the brain, gastrointestinal organs, immune system, and other structures. Therefore, a thorough examination, identification of the causative mechanisms, and their elimination, rather than just symptomatic relief, is important, which is what VIVERE CLINIC doctors do.

Symptoms and signs of autism

Before understanding the question of whether autism is treatable, it is necessary to understand its characteristic manifestations. Specialists distinguish two main groups of symptoms - limited repetitive behavior and impaired social and communication abilities. The diagnosis is established only if both groups of symptoms are present.

The main symptoms of autism in children:

• lack of interest in playing with other children after age 2;
• sensory sensitivity (to light, sounds, tactile contact, clothing textures, etc.);
• repetitive motor movements (engages in the same activities, toys);
• inflexibility to change — children with autism do not like changes in daily routines and are wary of new things;
• emotional withdrawal.

Also, children with autism often have hyperactivity syndrome, anxiety, impulsivity, irritability, and learning problems at school age. The appearance of any signs of autism — a reason to make an appointment for consultation with a doctor, because in the early stages of the disorder is better amenable to correction.

Autism treatment

The most common question parents ask is: Can autism be cured? The answer is simple. The key task is to make the correct diagnosis. Almost always under the mask of autism spectrum disorder hides undiagnosed somatic or metabolic disease. Our practice shows that an integrated approach, the choice of an individual etiological therapeutic regimen can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with this diagnosis or completely cure it.

Our clinic uses advanced methods for the treatment of ASD. Depending on the clinical picture, the cause, and other factors, individualized drug therapy is selected.

At VIVERE CLINIC, doctors of different specializations work closely together. This is why patients with autism receive help from a pediatric neurologist, psychiatrist, and, if necessary, a gastroenterologist, immunologist, geneticist, etc. As a result, it is possible not only to eliminate the symptoms, but also to cope with the cause of their appearance, and thus to achieve a sustainable therapeutic effect.

Recommendations

It is possible to notice signs of autistic disorder in a child as early as 2-3 years of age. If they appear, do not delay the appointment with a doctor, because the timely start of treatment increases the chances of successful correction, adaptation of the child in society, the ability to learn.
