Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in children with ASD and their parents: a 3-year follow-up.

Acta psychiatrica Scandinavica·2018

Currently, no cure exists for autistic spectrum disorders (ASD). This review evaluates common ASD interventions, finding limited empirical support and no clear best approach for parents and professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
  • Pediatric Psychology
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) lack etiology-based interventions.
  • Parents and professionals require guidance on selecting effective treatments for children with ASD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate widely used interventions for ASD based on research criteria.
  • To provide a comparative analysis of different intervention categories.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of interventions for ASD.
  • Categorization of interventions into psychoeducational/behavioral, psychopharmacological, and complementary approaches.
  • Assessment based on specific research and empirical support criteria.

Main Results:

  • Some interventions for ASD demonstrate empirical support.
  • Other interventions show no positive effects.
  • No single approach is robustly favored over others.

Conclusions:

  • The evidence base for many ASD interventions is limited.
  • A critical evaluation of research criteria is necessary for treatment selection.
  • Further research is needed to identify superior intervention strategies.
