Asperger’s syndrome is generally not cured, but the younger the age the better the results of intervention, and it is best to begin treatment before the age of five.
Asperger’s syndrome is a type of pervasive developmental disorder that generally cannot be cured, but can be treated to alleviate symptoms and restore some function. Treatment before the age of 5 will have a more pronounced effect, because language function is in a period of rapid development before the age of 5. The level of development during this period has a greater impact on the prognosis, and the prognosis is poorer if there is still a lack of meaningful language after the age of 5.
The patient’s intelligence level is also an important factor that affects the prognosis. Patients with normal intelligence will recover better, while those with mental retardation will have a poorer prognosis. Early rehabilitation training and education can help improve the prognosis.
