There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. Treatment is dependent upon the type and severity of symptoms and the age at which a person is diagnosed. A healthcare professional will develop a treatment plan to help the affected person. The mainstay of any treatment, if necessary, are talking therapies and behavioural interventions. Whilst there is no such thing as ‘autism mediation’, there are medications licensed for specific symptoms that may affect those with autism.
