I want to thank all the medical staff of the Mardaleishvili clinic, in which on 6 June 2019 we received treatment of autism. My daughter is 6 years old and at the age of 3 we were diagnosed with autism.
Thousands of parents whose children have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or autism arrive in Georgia every year. It is easy to explain why they turn to a Georgian clinic: here we use effective early intervention methods, which help to take complete control of the disease. And the sooner it happens, the more effective the therapy will be.

Only qualified specialists can make an accurate diagnosis. But autism can be suspected in early childhood. As a rule, genetically congenital autism manifests itself when a child at the age of 6 months becomes active, tries to pronounce first words, and explores the outside world. Autism can also be acquired if its cause is psychological trauma or shock. In this case, you will immediately notice the non-standard behaviour of a child.
Manifestations of autism in childhood:
Indifference to the outside world: parents, bright toys, the interior of one’s own room.
Absence of instinct for research and imitation, apathy.
Obsession with any one activity or subject; repetition of the same words.
General developmental retardation: late pronunciation of the first word, taking the first steps, inability to hold a spoon or bottle, etc.
Dysfunction of the speech apparatus.
Inattentiveness, inability to concentrate, and incomprehension of the simplest words and gestures.
Poor coordination of movements and poorly developed motor skills.
Difficulties in assimilating new information.
“Withdrawal”: absence of emotional attachment to family members; reluctance to spend time with them.
Aggressive attitude towards oneself or others.
All of these symptoms may directly or indirectly indicate the presence of autism. We also draw your attention to the fact that some manifestations may be inherent in other mental disorders, so you need to contact an experienced specialist who will prescribe a comprehensive examination and draw up a recommended therapeutic program.
It is important to remember that you need to choose a clinic with a good reputation and a range of traditional and innovative methods of children’s autism treatment in order to get the desired results as early as possible.
If you notice a coincidence of symptoms in your child’s behaviour with the above-mentioned symptoms, immediately contact a doctor.
