For decades, scientists have been searching for the ultimate answers that will cure and prevent autism. Currently, there is no known cure. However, treatment is very effective and research efforts continue to unlock the mystery to this fastest growing developmental disorder.
In addition to the diagnostic, therapeutic, and residential services the Autism Treatment Center provides, research is vital to better understanding the disorder that currently afflicts 1 in every 150 children. ATC lays claim to internationally-recognized scientists, researchers, and doctors who research, write, and publish various articles about autism. These publications are read and debated within the autism community to better serve those with this disorder and to, someday, open the world to so many children and adults with autism.
