A: All of us, parents and professionals alike, are looking for a cure; but until one is discovered, I suggest that parents treat the complex array of symptoms associated with autism. This is not an easy process since the symptoms are multiple, varied, and found in different combinations in each child. Finding help is a process of finding each piece of the puzzle and proceeding to eliminate one problem at a time. This may mean exploring various methods since each method may offer something different. This is a challenging and often daunting process. Identification of the various problems must precede symptom reduction.
