Great question! Here’s what current research and evidence-based practices say about autism interventions:

1. **Innovative Therapies**: Virtual reality (VR) therapy is showing promise for practicing social skills in controlled environments. Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) also helps build social connections (Source: *OurMental.Health*).

2. **Behavioral Approaches**: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) remain widely used, with studies supporting their effectiveness in skill development (*Autism Society NC*).

3. **Sensory Integration**: Emerging evidence suggests sensory-based interventions, like Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI), can help with sensory challenges (*Springer Research*).

4. **Early Intervention**: Programs like TEACCH and DIR/Floortime emphasize structured support and play-based learning (*NIMH, Missouri Autism Guidelines*).
