Will my autistic child ever be normal?

The traditional approach to the treatment of an autistic child has always been a combination of special education and behavior management. There is a lot of evidence that indicates that the earlier the treatment is started, the better the outcome of the child. The treatment is long term and requires commitment. The results are slow and there are no immediate answers. While only the exceptional child will improve dramatically, the majority will only show a mild gradual improvement in behavior- but it is rare for an autistic child to be normal again.
