The chapter explores the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), underlining the complexities in diagnosis due to symptom overlaps. Current treatment approaches are reviewed, including behavioral and pharmacological treatments, emphasizing the need for early and individualized interventions. It also touches on the potential of technology-assisted therapies and underscores the necessity for ongoing research in ASD mental health, particularly in the wake of the pandemic’s impact on research methodologies and clinical practices.
