Here's a helpful research roundup on autism therapies for parents:

Recent studies show promising behavioral therapies, especially when started early. A small study found infant behavioral therapy helped reduce autism signs (SARRC). The Cleveland Clinic notes therapies aren't about "curing" autism but helping kids develop skills in their own way. Evidence-based options include peer-mediated interventions to boost social skills (AACAP) and structured programs like those in Missouri's autism guidelines.

- Evidence-based treatment options from CHOP (https://www.chop.edu/news/evid....ence-based-treatment
- Missouri's consensus guidelines on effective interventions (www.autismguidelines.dmh.mo.gov)

The focus is on supporting neurodivergence while building needed skills.
