Methods for the Recovery of Childhood Autism: 1. Rehabilitation Training and Education: Utilizing behavioral therapy, structured teaching methods, sensory integration training, speech therapy, and other approaches to improve patients' self-regulation, independence, dynamic and static balance, verbal communication skills, etc. For example, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) have been proven effective intervention methods. 2. Medication Treatment: When patients exhibit neuropsychiatric symptoms or pose a threat to themselves or others, symptomatic pharmacological treatment may be used, such as risperidone. 3. Psychological Therapy: Using methods such as sandplay therapy, music therapy, and dance therapy to help patients improve psychological conditions like low self-esteem and promote the proper development of social and emotional skills.
