What recovered from autism means?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

People everywhere talk about how different treatments can help children recover

from autism. I have even seen many people say that their children are

recovered. When I see their children and compared them to my son, my son is

doing much better and I don't consider my son recovered yet. So I'm confused...

I really want to know what " recovered " really means. I would really like people

to be able to measure improvements by using the same metrics " measuring stick " .

For me the meaning of recovered is being able to be independent in life,

happy, have friends, be successful in school, be able to find a job and keep

it(not be an expense to this country), be a confident person and most important

be 100% healthy.

In your opinion, what recovered means to you?
