Diagnosis of Low-Functioning Autism:

- A medical history: The doctor will ask about the child’s development and any concerns that the parents or caregivers have.
- A physical exam: The doctor will check the child’s overall health and development.
- Developmental assessments: These assessments will measure the child’s language, communication, social skills, and cognitive abilities.
- Behavioral observations: The doctor will observe the child’s behavior in a variety of settings.
Treatment for Low-Functioning Autism:

- Early intervention: Early intervention is the most effective way to help children with ASD. Early intervention programs can help children develop their communication, social, and behavioral skills.
- Behavioral therapy: Behavioral therapy can help children learn new skills and change their behavior.
- Speech therapy: Speech therapy can help children improve their communication skills.
- Occupational therapy: Occupational therapy can help children develop their motor skills and learn how to cope with sensory sensitivities.
