Great question! Evidence-based treatments for autism include **Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI)**, which has strong meta-analysis support for young children (Reichow, 2012). Play therapy and mindfulness interventions are also being explored, as noted in recent qualitative research (*International Journal of Play Therapy*, 2024).

For deeper reading, check the **WHO autism fact sheet** or research on **ecological momentary assessment** (Dallman, 202. Let me know if you’d like specific resources!
