Abstract |
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental disorders with early onset, characterized by deficits in social communication and repetitive and restricted interests and activities. A growing number of studies over the last 10 years support the efficacy of behaviorally based interventions in ASD for the improvement of social communication and behavioral functioning. In contrast, research on neurobiological based therapies for ASD is still at its beginnings. In this article, we will provide a selective overview of both well-established evidence-based treatments and novel interventions and drug treatments based on neurobiological principles aiming at improving core symptoms in ASD. Directions and options for future research on treatment in ASD are discussed. |
