Intervention

I read a lot of American autism sites and they all talk about "early intervention" being the key to "recovery".

What do they mean and why is the British view of autism so different? Can you recover from autism?

    Hi

    Not sure about the term 'recovery' as this is quite an emotive word but there does seem to be a group of children who no longer meet the criteria for an autism diagnosis

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19009353

    Note however, that this study refers to the presence of 'residual vulnerabilities and co-morbidities' even after loss of diagnosis.

    Personally I dont think we know for sure - very little research into this type of issue is ever funded, unfortunately.
