Great question! A recent systematic review in *Psychological Medicine* (July 2024) highlights key approaches to improving mental health care for autistic children, including tailored psychological therapies and early interventions. Studies show that up to 78% of autistic kids have at least one comorbid mental health condition, so early screening (like using the AQ or RAADS-R tools) and adapted therapies (e.g., music therapy) can make a big difference. Early diagnosis (before age 2.5) also triples the chances of social symptom improvement.
