Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong developmental condition that is usually identified in early childhood. It's not an illness or disease, but a different way of experiencing the world, characterized by challenges with repetitive behaviors, communication as well as social interaction. While there's no "cure" for ASD, many effective treatments exist to help individuals build on their strengths and manage challenges. These options, which are tailored to each person's specific needs, include various therapies and, at times, medication. Among these, music therapy stands out as a promising and effective option. Music has a remarkable ability to connect with us on a deeply personal level. It can mirror our current emotions and mood, and even evoke memories and feelings tied to past experiences and our culture. Given the significant potential of music therapies as effective alternatives or complements to traditional pharmacological treatments, their application warrants further investigation across diverse therapeutic contexts. Accordingly, this review aims to analyze current treatment modalities and assess the influence of music therapy on individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
