Can autism spectrum disorder (ASD) heal on its own?
Disease description:
My daughter has autism, and she is unwilling to go to the hospital for an evaluation. I would like to ask, can autism heal on its own?
Autism spectrum disorder typically does not resolve on its own. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder primarily caused by a combination of genetic factors, environmental influences, and abnormalities in brain function and development. This condition leads to varying degrees of impairment in social interaction, language development, interests, and patterns of behavior. Because autism has a lasting impact on the individual's cognition, emotions, communication abilities, and social functioning, failure to provide timely and effective treatment may lead to worsening symptoms and an increased risk of developing other mental health disorders. Currently, treatment for autism mainly involves various approaches such as psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and music therapy. At the same time, support and care from family play a crucial role in the patient's recovery.
