Great question! Recent research shows that psychotherapy can be helpful for autistic children, especially when addressing co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or OCD. A 2023 systematic review found that structured psychotherapy improved these symptoms in both kids and adults on the spectrum (source: *PMC*).

For non-verbal or minimally verbal children, evidence supports tailored approaches like peer-mediated interventions and sensory integration therapy (*AACAP*, *CDC*). Parent training programs, like APN, also show promise in improving family wellbeing and access to services (*TherapyWorks*).
