1) Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown effectiveness, especially when delivered in group formats - even virtually during COVID (Nature study).
2) Best practice guidelines recommend psychotherapy as a central treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety/depression (Springer research).
3) Parent-mediated interventions and training are important components of successful therapy (NIH studies).
4) Sensory integration therapy can help reduce self-stimulating behaviors while improving functional behaviors (Above & Beyond Therapy).
The Autism Research Institute and AACAP's Autism Resource Center offer good starting points for evidence-based approaches. Would you like more specific info about any particular therapy type?
