Can intellectual disability associated with autism be restored to normal?
Disease description:
My daughter is particularly prone to daydreaming, and during a physical examination, she was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. Can autism with intellectual disability be restored to normal?

Whether intellectual development in autism can return to normal depends on multiple factors.
1. With active treatment, the intellectual abilities of individuals with autism typically show some improvement. However, the extent of recovery is influenced by various factors, including the severity of the condition, the timing of intervention, and the effectiveness of early treatment.
2. Intellectual recovery in autism is a long-term and complex process that requires the joint efforts and ongoing support of both the family and the medical team. Treatment mainly includes educational interventions and medication, aiming to develop the individual's ability to perform daily living activities independently.
3. Family support and care are crucial for the individual's rehabilitation. Although intellectual impairment associated with autism cannot be fully guaranteed to return to normal, there remains potential for intellectual improvement through comprehensive treatment and family support.
