Will An Autistic Child Behave Like A Regular Child After Getting Treated?

My 18th month old grandson was just diagnosed with being on the autism spectrum. We does not chew food, hold a bottle or stand up. If put in a walker he is a toe walker and was told not to put him in the walker. Does he have a chance of growing out of this disease with the proper treatment mentioned?They live in Palm beach Florids in Florida. They are considering a program in Lakeworth ,Florida. Are youfamiliar with it? Any suggestions are welcomed. We want to catch this early with the hopeof him improving to normalcy. Please help. Thank you.

Well,Autistic symptoms can be improved with careful training and practice. How much degree it can be improved depend on the degree of the symptoms and intellectual ability of the kid.But be hopeful and keep trying.They do tend to have certain exceptional abilities and that can be flourished. Sometimes medications may be required especially if the child have behavioural problems or Hyperactivity.
