There remains a significant gap in both research and clinical practice concerning the treatment of co-occurring conditions in autism. Although evidence-based protocols are widely used in mental health care, findings suggest that their effectiveness may be reduced when applied to autistic individuals without modification. Emerging studies point to the importance of adapting these interventions to account for differences in communication, cognition, and sensory processing, which can strongly influence treatment engagement and outcomes. Addressing these gaps not only has the potential to improve clinical effectiveness but also to promote more inclusive, individualized care for autistic people across the lifespan.
