Children with autism have the potential to live as typical a life as possible with the right intervention. As autism is a spectrum, some individuals are affected minimally, moderately or severely, who require support (Level 1), substantial (Level 2) and very substantial (Level 3) support respectively.
Based on the level of autism in a child as well as the treatment they receive, research shows that almost 50% of children who receive good quality Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) therapy at an early age are able to catch up to their developmental age. These children may still require support socially in some areas as well as at certain critical stages of their lives such as school transitions and puberty.
The other 50% who are not able to catch up are still able to learn to their best potential which includes reducing challenging behaviours, increasing functional communication, independence and overall life skills.
The most important is that every child with autism receives sufficient support in order for the individual and their family to live as meaningful a life as possible.
