Is It Possible to Completely Cure Autism? Ministry of Healthcare Exposed the Truth Behind Online Advertisements

The Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Kazakhstan urged citizens not to believe widespread advertisements on social media claiming a "complete cure" for autism or rumors about "pseudo-autism." Officials from the agency advise citizens to view such information with a critical eye.

According to the Ministry, autism is not a disease that can be cured with any kind of miracle medicine or dubious methods; rather, it is a neurodevelopmental feature (autism spectrum disorder). False promises and scientifically unverified treatment methods found online not only mislead parents but also steal the precious time needed to provide professional help to the child.

The Ministry of Healthcare reminded the public once again that neither vaccines nor phones and gadgets have any connection to the onset of autism. Previously, infectious disease specialist Dr. Dinagul Baesheva explained the secret behind the biggest myth among parents.

The first signs of autism become clearly noticeable when a child is 1.5 to 2 years old, which coincides with the period of scheduled revaccination. Parents linking these two events is merely a matter of timing—a complete coincidence. Doctors are currently raising the alarm, stating that due to vaccine refusal, they frequently encounter the severe consequences of dangerous diseases like measles and whooping cough.

According to experts, the most important thing for a child with autism is early detection, timely assistance from professional specialists, and family support.
