The treatment of individuals with autism is associated with fad, controversial, unsupported, disproven, and unvalidated treatments. Eclecticism is not the best approach for treating and educating children and adolescents who have autism. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) uses methods derived from scientifically established principles of behavior and incorporates all of the factors identified by the US National Research Council as characteristic of effective interventions in educational and treatment programs for children who have autism. ABA is a primary method of treating aberrant behavior in individuals who have autism. The only interventions that have been shown to produce comprehensive, lasting results in autism have been based on the principles of ABA.
对自闭症患者的治疗与时尚、有争议、无依据、已被证伪和未经验证的治疗方法相关联。折衷主义并非治疗和教育自闭症儿童及青少年的最佳方法。应用行为分析（ABA）采用源自科学确立的行为原则的方法，并纳入了美国国家研究委员会确定的所有因素，这些因素是针对自闭症儿童的教育和治疗项目中有效干预措施的特征。ABA是治疗自闭症个体异常行为的主要方法。唯一已被证明能在自闭症治疗中产生全面、持久效果的干预措施是基于ABA原则的。
