Surgical Treatment
Address co-occurring medical conditions or facilitate essential care when non-surgical approaches are not feasible.
- No direct surgical treatment exists for Autism Spectrum Disorder itself, as it is a developmental neurological difference.
- Surgical interventions may be considered for co-occurring medical conditions (e.g., epilepsy, gastrointestinal issues, congenital anomalies) that are not directly caused by autism but require medical attention.
- Dental procedures or other essential medical interventions may be performed under general anesthesia for individuals with severe sensory sensitivities or behavioral challenges, ensuring necessary healthcare access.
