Autism Treatment

Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that is marked by the presence of impaired social interaction, communication, and restricted interests. With a growing number of affected children, effective autism treatment has become more and more important.

Children with Autism may have a range of behavioral symptoms including hyperactivity, short attention span, impulsivity, aggressiveness, self-injurious behavior and temper tantrums. They may show unusual responses to sensory stimuli as observed by a lack of response to pain or a hypersensitivity to particular sounds. In addition, children with Autism often have unusual eating and sleeping habits and are described as being either agitated and irritable or aloof and detached.
