Suggest Treatment For Autism Other Than Speech, Occupational And Behavioral Therapy In A 3 Year Old
Dear Doctor, My 3.2 year old twins kid(younger ones) is detected with Autism. As per the developmental pediatric doctor whom we refer to, he cannot talk, doesnt mix with people around him,eye to eye contact. He has 3 problems - speech, communication and mixing with people. We have started his Speech Therapy,Occupational therapy and behavioral therapy and the progress is very slow. What else can be done for this? Why this problem comes and how to overcome the problem.Do I take him to CMC, VELLORE and do you have any contacts over there

Hello,
Actually, you are dealing with a single entity which is autistic spectrum disorder with 3 different therapies. But I would prefer your kid to be evaluated for autistic spectrum disorder and be on the therapeutic regimen for that, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
