Abstract

The article warns library patrons about the deceptive and misleading claims made by products and therapies that claim to cure or treat autism. It emphasizes that there is no cure for autism and that many of these products may carry significant health risks. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a crucial role in warning companies against making improper claims about their products. The article provides information about autism, its symptoms, and the importance of early intervention. It also highlights FDA-approved drugs that can help manage related symptoms of autism. The FDA has cracked down on false claims made by companies, including chelation therapies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, detoxifying clay baths, and various other products. The article provides tips to identify false or misleading claims and encourages individuals to consult healthcare professionals for accurate information and treatment options.
