• cognitive behavioral therapy to improve stress management relating to anxiety or explosive emotions,[62] and to cut back on obsessive interests and repetitive routines
• medication, for coexisting conditions such as major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder
• occupational or physical therapy to assist with poor sensory integration and motor coordination
• social communication intervention, which is specialized speech therapy to help with the pragmatics of the give and take of normal conversation
• the training and support of parents, particularly in behavioral techniques to use in the home
• the training of social skills for more effective interpersonal interactions
Of the many studies on behavior-based early intervention programs, most are case studies of up to five participants, and typically examine a few problem behaviors such as self-injury, aggression, noncompliance, stereotypies, or spontaneous language; unintended side effects are largely ignored.[65] Despite the popularity of social skills training, its effectiveness is not firmly established.[66] A randomized controlled study of a model for training moms & dads in problem behaviors in their kids with ASPERGERS showed that parents attending a one-day workshop or six individual lessons reported fewer behavioral problems, while moms & dads receiving the individual lessons reported less intense behavioral problems in their ASPERGERS kids.[67] Vocational training is important to teach job interview etiquette and workplace behavior to older kids and with ASPERGERS, and organization software and personal data assistants to improve the work and life management of kids with ASPERGERS are useful.[1]
