[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible for a 4-5yo to require speech and OT and end up having their issues (language delay and social emotional skills) resolve? DD doesn't have a diagnosis but these services have been recommended by her PreK program. Do they genuinely work?[/quote]

they absolutely work but they don't cure autism (NOT saying your kid has autism, just saying some parents think early intervention = cure, which isnt' true)[/quote]

The only time there is a so called cure for autism  is when the child was misdiagnosed [/quote]

Actually it’s most prominently referred to as “cure “ when the child improves so much that the diagnosis is no longer given. So for example if at 2 yo a child had a PDD-NOS  or ASD diagnosis, but received intensive EI and school aged interventions and supports, then by age 10 no longer showed any signs of ASD and were closely aligned to peers in all developmental and academic areas then parents might say they were “cured”. The child actually just lost the ASD diagnosis and won’t need any more support than children that were NT from birth. [/quote]
