Music therapy, applied behavior analysis, and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation emerged as the most influential intervention approaches. The United States led in both publication volume and academic impact, followed by China and the United Kingdom. Thematic evolution analysis revealed a gradual shift from behavior-oriented frameworks toward mechanism-informed and context-sensitive approaches, with increasing attention to early intervention, population heterogeneity, and family involvement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Research on NPIs for ASD is undergoing a transition toward more integrative, individualized, and evidence-based paradigms.
