Speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, adapted CBT, behavioural approaches, psychotherapy, sensory integration, and integrated natural care are all part of the landscape.

That word is used a great deal, but what it means in practice is that the experience of autism varies enormously from one individual to the next.
