Early detection and treatment can help improve the prognosis: 1. Behavioral therapy: The aim is to improve the patient’s ability to self-control and enhance independence by improving personal abilities in several areas, with applied behavior analysis (AB) and juvenile autism training program (YAP) as The treatment is represented by the Applied Behavior Analysis (AB) and the Youth Autism Training Program (YAP), which has developed into ABA therapy, a scientific training in Applied Behavior Analysis. Parents should often be confident in their patients and encourage them to carry out independent life behaviors and social and other interpersonal development behaviors; 2. Structured teaching method: By combining visual, environmental and other structural factors, an organized and systematic learning plan is developed for patients, thus coordinating their fine motor and visual motor abilities, which usually has positive effects; 3. Sensory integration training: It can effectively improve the dynamic and static balance abilities of autistic patients. The younger the patient, the longer the training time, the more effective it is. 4. Speech training: The aim is to correct vocal and phonological deficits, and is a set of targeted behavioral training and methods. Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) can improve emotional cognition and expression, and visual tools such as pictures, tables, and symbols can improve vocabulary, active and passive expressions, and willingness; 5, music therapy: Some studies have found that autistic people have higher musical ability and talent than healthy people, with extraordinary musicality and phonetic ability. At the same time, music can enhance multi-sensory stimulation, explore the learning ability of patients and thus promote the improvement of verbal communication ability and skills, shape correct behavior and social emotion, and have better efficacy in improving active verbal expression, transforming and improving stereotypical behavior, and enhancing social adaptability; 6. The second-generation antipsychotics can improve patients’ self-injurious, aggressive and destructive behaviors, as well as hallucinations, delusions and other psychotic symptoms, such as risperidone and aripiprazole. For patients over 12 years old with significant depressive, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, symptomatic treatment such as promethazine, fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram, etc., as appropriate, must be administered under medical supervision. At the same time, parents need to pay close attention to patients’ risky behaviors such as self-injury and aggression, as well as changes in sleep, diet, physical condition, and mood. The diet can be supplemented with foods rich in radix sulphur, such as vegetables from the cruciferous family such as broccoli, kale, and round carrots.
