Hello doctor. My wife and I are planning to have a baby. This would be our second child. We have a daughter earlier and she is 4 years old now. She was born with symptoms of autism. Fortunately, symptoms were not much and she is leading an almost normal life as she is growing up. But we are afraid if something same happens with our second child. Doctor please tell me are there any preventions for autism spectrum disorder?

No, there are no preventive measures that can be taken for autism spectrum disorder. A child is normally born with this disorder. However, there are treatments available that help in controlling the symptoms.
