To date, the recovery rate for childhood autism has been steadily improving in recent years; however, it still does not reach 100%. Treatment for autism may involve appropriate medications, alongside emotional regulation for the child—maintaining a positive emotional state plays a significant role in symptom improvement. Parental involvement is especially critical during treatment: caregivers should provide abundant love and support to their children and offer frequent encouragement during their growth and development. It is essential to create a supportive environment that helps the child effectively cope with and overcome this condition.
