A review of systems (ROS), also called a systems enquiry or systems review, is a technique used by healthcare providers for eliciting a medical history from a patient. It is often structured as a component of an admission note covering the organ systems, with a focus upon the subjective symptoms perceived by the patient (as opposed to the objective signs perceived by the clinician).

Treatments involving parents and one-on-one compared to group treatments were more effective. [12]
Individualized systems aim to address difficulties with communication, organization, generalization, concepts, sensory processing, change and relating to others.

The amygdala, cerebellum, and many other brain regions have been implicated in autism. [15]Unlike some brain disorders which have clear molecular hallmarks that can be observed in every affected individual, such as Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, autism does not have a unifying mechanism at the molecular, cellular, or systems level.
A 2019 review found sensory integration therapy to be effective for autism spectrum disorder. [63] Another study from 2018 backs up the intervention for children with special needs, [64] Additionally, the American Occupational Therapy Association supports the intervention. [65]
Learning is different for each student, which is the same for students with autism. To assist in learning, accommodations are commonly put into place for students with differing abilities. The existing schema of these students works in different ways and can be adjusted to best support the educational development for each student.
