A method for detection, treatment, and prevention of neurological development disorders utilizes an infrared imaging device, meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and predetermined amounts of solid water particles to detect, treat, and prevent a neurological developmental disorder, such as autism. The method detects the disorder by initially identifying at least one hot spot on a patient with an infrared imaging device. At least one acupoint along a meridian pathway is identified. The hot spot is correlated with at least one acupoint located along the meridian pathway. The nexus of the hot spot and the meridian pathway indicates a potential neurological development disorder. A degree of irregularity of the internal organ is discerned by measuring a quantitative temperature at the nexus. A solid water particle is applied through a delivery means, such as oral, topical, vapor, and intravenous administration for treatment of the neurological developmental disorder.
