The most common treatment for a child with autism are many kinds of intervention therapy. The child may undergo Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, Vision Therapy, and many more. Going to these sessions may help the child's brain function like it is supposed to. Of course, this doesn't 100% guarantee a change in the child's life. Some children with autism may also have to take vitamins and supplements daily. Taking these may also change the brain into doing what it should be doing.
