Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with increasing prevalence, posing significant challenges on families and society. As the number of children with mild symptoms and normal intellectual abilities rises, new opportunities for rehabilitation and intervention have emerged. In this context, it is crucial to explore ways to enhance parental caregiving skills to promote the recovery of ASD children. This editorial introduced a novel model that integrated caregiving into family-based interventions, particularly suited for early intervention in economically underdeveloped regions of China for children with ASD. Additionally, it provided valuable insights for resource-limited developing regions.
