Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complicated, pervasive, and heterogeneous developmental disorder that is characterized by social communication disorder, verbal and nonverbal language defects, limited interests, and stiff behaviors. These symptoms may to a large extent affect the normal life of patients. Therefore, it is crucial to find an effective and targeted intervention to alleviate the symptoms of ASD. This passage compares the effectiveness of several therapies for ASD patients through comparative analysis and research based on previous studies: pharmacological therapy, which mainly makes use of several neurotransmitters, applied behavior therapy, which improves social communication through positive reinforcement, acupuncture based on Chinese medicine, and gluten- and casein-free intervention to influence enteric system. Because the etiology of ASD is unknown, there seems to be no most effective treatment which deserves further research.
