What are some of the main medical treatments for autism spectrum disorder?

There are no standard treatments for ASD. Since ASD has varying effects on people, treatments are tailored to individual needs. Treatments include behavior management programs, cognitive behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, neurofeedback, symptom-specific medications (e.g., antipsychotics for irritability and certain selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors for repetitive behaviors in adults).^[1]
