The treatment of individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is comprised of a range of therapies. In a sense, it takes a spectrum of treatments to treat a spectrum disorder. Anyone working with individuals on the autism spectrum benefits from understanding the standard range of treatments as well as the diagnostic issues involved. In addition, the individual on the autism spectrum exists within the context of their family, and it is useful to understand the common experiences of these families that are themselves, living on the spectrum. In other words, to be in family in which autism is present creates their own culture.
