Giving mums and dads the skills to become "super parents" can dramatically improve their child's autism, a long-term study has shown.
In the training, parents watched films of themselves playing with their child while a therapist gave precise tips for helping their child communicate.
"What is remarkable is the pay-off," said Louisa Harrison, who has seen a huge improvement in her son Frank.
Experts said the results, published in the Lancet, were "hugely cheering".
The study focused on children with severe autism, who were often unable to talk to their parents.
