Resumo
O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é uma condição neurodesenvolvimental que afeta a comunicação social e comportamentos repetitivos ou restritos. Com uma prevalência crescente, a necessidade de entender e intervir de forma eficaz no TEA é urgente. Esta revisão foca nos avanços recentes relacionados ao entendimento do desenvolvimento infantil em crianças com TEA e as subsequentes implicações clínicas e terapêuticas. Intervenções comportamentais continuam a ser a espinha dorsal do tratamento, com abordagens intensivas e bem-estruturadas demonstrando melhorias em áreas como comunicação e habilidades sociais. No entanto, terapias baseadas em jogo têm ganhado destaque, proporcionando ambientes naturais para desenvolvimento social. Paralelamente, o campo das intervenções farmacológicas tem evoluído, visando tratar sintomas específicos e comorbidades associadas ao TEA. Apesar das promissoras abordagens individualizadas, combinar múltiplas intervenções se mostra mais eficaz, considerando a natureza multifacetada do TEA. As pesquisas futuras devem continuar focando em tratamentos individualizados e baseados em evidências, com ênfase em uma compreensão profunda dos mecanismos neurobiológicos subjacentes e avaliação de longo prazo das intervenções.Referências
