Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This umbrella review summarizes 31 systematic reviews regarding mental health interventions for autistic children and adolescents, incorporating perspectives from a participatory advisory group. It identifies cognitive-behavioral therapy as having the strongest evidence base while noting that most included reviews were of low quality and largely failed to address equity-relevant characteristics. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the current state of evidence and gaps related to equity in this population.
