Recently, early intervention for infants at high risk of autism spectrum disorder(ASD) has shifted towards adjusting patterns of interaction between infant and environment, to foster more typical development of neural circuitry associated with social cognition to bring about reduction in autistic symptoms. In this report, the author presents a method of psychiatric support for infants displaying abnormality in interpersonal reactivity at high risk for ASD and their parents. Joining the parents in playing with the infants alongside the infants’ attention or interest, and paying sympathetic attention to the parents’ anxieties and distress associated with child care were effective for enhancing the infants’ sense of security and interest in social stimuli, leading to parental confidence and improved parent-child interaction. Further study on early intervention, and establishment of systematic regional support for infants at high risk of ASD and their families are needed to provide children with comprehensive support, regardless of the region they are born into.
