This review focuses on helping clinicians identify resources and develop strategies they may use to effectively negotiate safe and effective use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments with families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), as well as other neurodevelopmental disorders. Since new types of CAM continue to be introduced into the autism community, emphasis is placed on providing clinicians with tools to help families negotiate the myriad of available treatments and make decisions based on current safety and efficacy data, while remaining mindful of the reasons families may be considering these treatments. We familiarize readers with high-quality, evidence-based resources that providers and families may use to ascertain current information about specific types of CAM, verify the content of biologically-based treatments, identify ongoing CAM research and obtain toolkits designed to help healthcare providers raise the topic of CAM usage and facilitate disclosure and discussion of CAM use with patients and their families.
这篇综述的重点是帮助临床医生识别资源，并制定策略，以便与自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童及其家庭，以及其他神经发育障碍患者的家庭，有效地讨论安全有效的补充和替代医学（CAM）治疗方法。由于新的 CAM 类型不断被引入自闭症领域，因此强调为临床医生提供工具，帮助家庭根据当前的安全性和有效性数据来讨论各种可用的治疗方法并做出决策，同时要注意家庭考虑这些治疗方法的原因。我们让读者熟悉高质量的循证资源，提供者和家庭可以使用这些资源来确定特定类型的 CAM 的最新信息，验证基于生物学的治疗方法的内容，识别正在进行的 CAM 研究，并获得旨在帮助医疗保健提供者提出 CAM 使用话题以及促进与患者及其家属讨论 CAM 使用的工具包。
