Overview
Although many alternative therapies and interventions are available, few are supported by scientific studies.Lack of support for interventions: [1] Treatment approaches have little empirical support in quality-of-life contexts, and many programs focus on success measures that lack predictive validity and real-world relevance. Scientific evidence appears to matter less to service providers than program marketing, training availability, and parent requests.[2] Although most alternative treatments, such as melatonin, have only mild adverse effects,[3] a 2008 study found that autistic boys on casein-free diets have significantly thinner bones,[4] and botched chelation therapy killed a five-year-old autistic boy in 2005.[5]
