  3. Autism cannot be cured completely.Early detection and care under a trained and experienced professional can bring lot of improvement in the child. In other words we can say early intervention for the special children.so we can train the person according to his need.

  4. Good article asha. Even though autism children have some problems, they can improve through their strength in other areas provided the parents support is of utmost important. Many a time due to lack of knowledge, negligence, surrounding environment and many more reasons, a child may suffer a lot.
