Similar to other treatments and diagnoses, autism also has misconceptions that need to be clarified. There are instances where misconceptions lead to people taking drastic actions, worsening the situation.

In light of this, we will discuss the several misconceptions regarding autism therapy in Azusa for children.

[1] Autism is a disease

A common misconception is that ABA services in Azusa are used to treat a disease. Many people assume that an autistic person can be treated and cured in the same way one would treat any other disease or "illness." None of this is accurate.

The Truth

Autism isn't a disease. Autistic people are not unwell. Autism cannot be healed with medication. In reality, the word "cured" does not appear in the debate!

Notably, autism, being a neurodevelopmental disorder, leads to problems in communication with the other party. However, it is not a major issue, and they can live their life as comfortably as others with the right treatment.

[2] Vaccines cause autism

It is a misconception actually to believe that autism is a side effect of vaccinations.

The Truth

The justification behind this myth is that, in the late 1990s, a bogus research report was published in a publication claiming a tenuous link between vaccinations and autism. Not only was the experiment not conducted in accordance with scientific norms, but it was later fully refuted as deceptive, non-replicable, and unreliable in drawing such conclusions.

The physician who conducted the study ultimately lost his medical license. Unfortunately, the myth has spread over the last few decades despite the lack of evidence linking vaccines to autism.

[3] Autism is becoming an epidemic

This is a widespread myth. Many individuals believe that ABA service in Azusa is growing more widespread to the point that it might be labeled 'an epidemic.' Even others who do not go as far in their rhetoric believe that autism is becoming more common among today's children.

The Truth

This myth is inherently misleading and untrue, but the misconception itself is at least partly associated with rises in autism diagnoses that have occurred over the last two or three decades. This myth does not take into account that this reflects an expanding conception of autism spectrum conditions. But as we've learned more about autism, our diagnostic abilities have increased.

This is a good thing because there are more people than we once identified as living with autism getting the help and support, they need. Before, a defective system may have let many of these folks slip through the cracks and be labeled socially inept, lacking empathy, introverted, etc.

End Note

That concludes the common misconceptions and myths concerning autism therapy in Azusa for children. We'd appreciate it if you shared this piece with others because the more people who understand what autism is and isn't, and the more myths we can dispel, the better off everyone will be.
