Abstract: This study aimed to analyze the main scientific contributions of neuroscience, psychological assessment, and interventional techniques regarding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The methodology used was an integrative literature review, and the discussion categories are derived from the analysis of the texts found. In summary, neuroscience demonstrates that there are no biomarkers that confirm the identification of ASD, but there are advances in understanding neuroplasticity, sensorimotor alterations, and brain connectivity. For the field of psychological assessment, the importance of observation, interviews, and the clinical perception of evaluators is highlighted. Regarding interventions, improvements are noted when initiated in the early years of life, being better when associated with social and educational demands. It is concluded that the integration of these findings constitutes a promising path for improving the general understanding and specific care of people with ASD.
