Is recovery from autism possible?
There is no medical consensus, but a growing number of doctors believe that a small number of individuals can achieve recovery from autism. Studies suggest that between 10 and 20 percent of autistic children are likely to recover from this disorder, although some problems including depression, anxiety, phobia and attention disorders may persist. It turned out that the applied behavior analysis, intensive therapy that focuses on and the aim is to remedy problem behavior, effectively supports recovery. Children who start treatment before five age have the best chance of recovering from autism. In general, the autistic person is considered highly functioning if it displays typical autistic behavior, such as the inability to read social allusions or to engage in conversation, but can read, write, do housework with affection among other indicators. High -functional autistic children who develop the ability to speak can be diagnosed more with Asperger syndrome than with classicAutism. IQ, which is above average, can help some autistic children compensate and overcome problem behavior. Once the child is considered recovered, it is assumed that excellent IQ positively affects the process of normalization.
The key part of autism recovery may be early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention, preferably before five age. It has been shown that the applied behavior analysis has a beneficial effect on autistic children and can support recovery from the disorder. This intense set of therapies may require a significant obligation of time and resources by the tautist child and his parents.
Applied analysis of behavioral analysis is to improve the skills of engines, social, verbal and reasoning that autistic children do not have to learn by themselves or from their environment. The child's activities and behavior are first observed with the intention of identifying what triggers and strengthens problem behavior. The right behavior is thenGradually replaced and encouraged by means of a challenge and reward system. Children often need a daily exposure to applied behavior analysis.
Results of research The possibility of recovery from autism are supported by unofficial evidence of parents and previously autistic individuals. In some cases, children successfully recover so much that doctors are wondering whether they were originally incorrectly diagnosed. Recovery from autism is not the same as the treatment of disorder, but many individuals who have overcome their autistic symptoms have become a fully functional and productive members of society.
