      abstract = {Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition marked by social communication deficits and restrictive behaviors. Early identification and intervention are critical to improving developmental outcomes due to the heightened neuroplasticity of the young brain. This article reviews current evidence on early psychosocial interventions, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and sensory integration therapies, emphasizing their capacity to harness neuroplastic mechanisms to enhance social, cognitive, and adaptive functioning in children with ASD. It also discusses common comorbidities and the benefits of parent-mediated and technology-assisted approaches. Advances in neuroimaging and pharmacological adjuncts further elucidate the neurobiological basis of treatment efficacy. Addressing challenges related to access, personalization, and scalability remains essential for optimizing intervention strategies and improving the long-term prognosis for individuals with ASD.},
