Generally speaking, the prognosis of children with autism is related to the discovery of disease signs sooner or later, the severity of the disease, early speech development, cognitive function, whether accompanied by other diseases, whether medication, training, and other factors.

Psychological research has found that the substantial damage to autism is cognitive impairment, manifested in early shared attention and acting. Shared attention refers to sharing an interest in something with others. When autism faces an object, it is not to share the interest with others, but to get it. This disorder is one of the early symptoms of autism. As mentioned in the first part, not playing sexual games is one of the early manifestations of autism.

Patients with other diseases such as severe congenital heart disease, epilepsy, liver and kidney damage, and tuberous sclerosis have a poor prognosis, and those with hearing impairment and special life skills have a poor prognosis.
