Autism Can Be Prevented and There Are Therapies That Work for People With Autism
While genes play a role in the development of autism, mainstream science is beginning to accept that the environment may also be a significant factor. Dara Berger shares some advice on what parents can do in How to Prevent Autism, which features powerful information from leaders in the field of autism prevention.
The parents of children with autism know that research into therapies and interventions for autism is a full-time job. Tony Lyons and Ken Siri guide families through the maze of therapy options in Cutting-Edge Therapies for Autism. There are a variety of therapies, models and multifaceted evaluations and treatments that can improve the lives of people with autism—from dietary interventions that reduce sugars and remove gluten from the diet to animal-assisted therapies that place a dog or cat in the care of the autistic individual to help enhance social and developmental skills.
While there is no cure for autism, people with autism can live better lives and show real improvement.
