A developmental illness known as autism spectrum disorder causes people to see and interact with the environment in different ways, which can lead to limited interests, less flexible daily routines, and challenges with social communication. Because of the variety and intensity of the symptoms, it is known as a spectrum. In order to improve developmental outcomes, the significance of early childhood therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is highlighted by this study. The spectrum condition known as ASD is typified by a variety of symptoms that first appear in early childhood. Timely and tailored therapies that have been demonstrated to significantly improve social, communicative, and adaptive skills include the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), and hybrid approaches. Access to these interventions is still uneven, though, especially for underprivileged groups. The need of family involvement in the therapeutic process is emphasized, as is the necessity of systemic improvements to close access gaps. To evaluate the long-term effects of early interventions on different life outcomes, longitudinal studies are advised. In the end, funding early interventions is essential to creating an inclusive society that accommodates the developmental requirements of people with ASD.
