LAMP Words for Life
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.

Always discuss any alternative approaches with your child’s healthcare team before trying them, and be cautious of expensive treatments promising dramatic results.
