Association for Science in Autism Treatment promotes safe, effective, science-based treatments
for people with autism by disseminating sound information, advocating for the use of scientific
methods to guide treatment and combating inaccurate and false information about autism and its
treatment. The website also contains a specific page for parents about treatments that really work,
treatments that need more research, and treatments that do not work. Additionally, the interviews
with practitioners in the field, which are on the website, would be useful to learn more about
autism and treatment options.
