There are many different types of alternative and complementary therapies which are used by parents and individuals with ASD. The purpose of this section is not to recommend one therapy above another nor to comment on efficacy, but rather to inform people about the range available and details where further research can be done so that an informed choice may be made when looking to access such therapies.
