Many families try complementary and alternative treatments for autism like special diets, supplements, or sensory therapies, but most lack strong scientific evidence for improving core autism symptoms. While some may be harmless and could help with related issues like sleep or digestion, they shouldn’t replace proven treatments like occupational and speech therapy. Always discuss any alternative approaches with your child’s healthcare team before trying them, and be cautious of expensive treatments promising dramatic results.
