It is possible to reduce, alleviate, and improve the behavioral disorders seen in autism. However, differences are observed in each case regarding this issue because factors such as the age of each case, the presence or absence of underlying genetic mutations, the degree of impact from autism, and the existence of any additional medical disorders are determining in this process. The most important criteria are the presence or absence of genetic conditions and the child’s age.
Autism can occur alone or can be part of a clinical picture as part of a genetic syndrome. Autism can co-occur with many syndromes such as Fragile X Syndrome, Tourette Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, etc. The frequency of genetic syndromic conditions accompanying autism is actually low in all cases of autism: it is 10%.
Some clinical clues can be seen in syndromic genetic disorders: dysmorphic facial appearance, intellectual disability (mental regression), muscle weakness (hypotonia), and particularly epilepsy that does not respond to anti-epileptic drugs and the occurrence of epileptic seizures are important among these.
Positive developments are more likely to be seen in cases of pure autism (without genetic mutation) at younger ages. However, at the initial stage, it is not possible to make definitive statements about the future. It is not realistic to provide definite percentages regarding existing problems at the initial assessment for the future.
Therefore, in order to see positive developments, it is more realistic to make accurate medical assessments based on science and evidence; and to initiate accurate and holistic medical interventions tailored to the individual based on these findings. Witnessing positive developments after appropriate interventions and experiencing this happiness in the moment is the most realistic approach.
Feedback encompassing numerous positive developments resulting from correct practices in a clinic can be collected, and numerous positive outcomes can be achieved in terms of reducing behavioral disorders and significant medical issues in hindsight (not for the future) and are being obtained.
