There are many theories regarding the causes and "core deficits" of autism. As a result,
there are many different types of therapies and treatments developed specifically to
alleviate symptoms of autism spectrum disorders. On the upside, that means you have
a range of options to try. On the downside, it means you never know whether you've
tried the most effective option for you or your child.
Because there are so many choices -- and no "one best choice" -- most families try at
least a few types of treatment. And most find that some combination of treatments make
a real difference.most all people with autism have issues with speech and language.
Sometimes these issues are obvious; many people with autism are non-verbal or use
speech very poorly. Sometimes the issues relate not to articulation or grammar but to
"speech pragmatics" (the use of speech to build social relationships). Across the board,
though, speech and language therapy is likely to be helpful for people with autism.
