A number of posts have discussed the evidence for autism interventions.

The National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders (NPDC) has updated the autism intervention literature review:

Evidence-based intervention practices (EBPs) for children with ASD are the basis on which effective programs are built. In 2010, the NPDC conducted a review of the literature (from 1997-2007) and identified 24 EBPs. The center has just completed an expanded and updated review, which yielded a total of 27 practices. The report of the 2014 review is now available in PDF format from the link above.
EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE (EBP) FACT SHEETS
EBP Fact Sheets contain the definition of the intervention, the type of outcomes it has generated, the age range of participants, and citations for the specific articles that provide the evidence for the efficacy of the practice.
