Description: In a world filled with hundreds of ASD treatments, it is crucial to distinguish between evidence-based practices and ineffective and potentially harmful pseudoscientific approaches. Interpreting ASD treatment research is complicated by differences in research norms across disciplines, competing theoretical underpinnings, and misleading information available from media sources. Overall, these issues contribute to a gap between the outcomes demonstrated in scientific studies and what is achieved in applied settings (e.g., schools, homes and clinics). Lifespan Treatment for Autistic Individuals guides professional practitioners in the selection of treatments that are procedurally and ethically best suited for their individual clients.
