Supportive measures should be specific and carefully tailored to each patient. Treatment mainly consists of non-pharmacological therapy, including behavioral and communication therapy, where patients can learn how to cope with various social situations; intensive educational therapy, especially in a highly structured educational environment; family training, so that families can understand the needs of their children and learn how to play and interact with them; speech therapy, to help the patient improve their communication skills; physical therapy, to improve patient&#8217;s independence; and occupational therapy, to improve everyday activities. In addition, some patients may benefit from alternative therapies, including nutritional supplements and vitamins.\u00a0A common comorbid condition for ASD is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Epilepsy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">epilepsy<\/a>, which develops typically during early childhood or adolescence, therefore caregivers should be familiar with the signs and symptoms of this condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/plans\/rn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"904\" height=\"324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_2da05c.png?w=904\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_2da05c.png 904w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_2da05c.png?resize=300,108 300w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_2da05c.png?resize=768,275 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 904px) 100vw, 904px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Want more NCLEX\u00ae-style practice questions?
