While it is possible that some of Alex's behavioral changes may be temporary and dissipate over time, it is important to not make assumptions about the extent of his recovery.

It would be more appropriate for Alex's teacher and peers to approach him with empathy and understanding, while also seeking support and guidance from healthcare professionals.
