Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the strategies used to guide ASD treatment. Non-targeted treatments are directed towards treating symptomatology rather than underlying neurobiology and allow for management of associated maladaptive behaviors (left). On the other hand, the integration of multiple research approaches, from human studies to animal models based on human genetic findings converge in a deeper understanding of ASD pathophysiology guiding the development of novel more focused targeted treatments.
