Core Tip

Core Tip: Lu et al's study demonstrates that integrating remote psychological support with traditional interventions for autism significantly boosts parental competence and reduces stress, although its effect on mood disorders is limited. This approach highlights the need for family-centered care and suggests that remote support can enhance autism care by providing accessible resources that benefit both parents and children.
