The curious selection process of treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorders
2015
Abstract Treatments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) vary widely. The disorder is now considered treatable, but some interventions have extensive empirical support, while other interventions have none. Despite these stark differences in the evidence base for interventions, and efforts to educate the public, little correlation exists between what treatments work and what treatments parents choose. This review covers treatments, what people choose, and possible reasons choices are made, plus what factors may influence these choices. Data of this sort are important for clinicians and researchers, since multiple issues dictate treatment selection.
