Austism is a complex, multi-faceted condition.
There are many causes, factors, and treatments to take into consideration.
Many parents and caregivers rely on medication, therapy, and behavior modification to see significant improvement and experience healing in their loved ones.
Through these means and others, there has been great progress and lives transformed.
However, I believe that in addition to these treatments, we must not overlook the supernatural healing power of God.
