Abstract
This scientific review stands out for providing a comprehensive and updated approach to therapies applied in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Given the complex and diverse nature of ASD, it becomes imperative to thoroughly analyze the available therapeutic strategies for a deeper and more effective understanding of this condition. The autistic spectrum encompasses a variety of symptoms and challenges, and this study aims to offer a holistic view of therapeutic practices, ranging from intensive behavioral interventions to pharmacological modalities, thus providing a comprehensive overview of the current landscape.
Not only does it highlight the diversity of therapeutic approaches available, but it also emphasizes the crucial importance of personalized and early intervention. Recognizing the heterogeneity of the autistic spectrum, the review underscores how therapeutic strategies tailored to individual patient characteristics can be fundamental in maximizing results. This customization not only acknowledges the uniqueness of each individual but also underscores the need for a multifaceted and integrative approach in the treatment of ASD.
Exploring the latest findings and developments in the field, this study goes beyond consolidating existing information; it seeks to foster a critical reflection on current therapeutic practices in ASD. In doing so, the work provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals, researchers, and families, promoting a deeper understanding of therapeutic strategies and, consequently, contributing to the ongoing improvement of the quality of life for individuals with ASD.
