How to treat autism?

First, autism behavioral therapy.

Behavioral therapy is the most commonly used and effective method in autism education and treatment. Its principle is to improve and eliminate autism symptoms and maladaptive behaviors or form adaptive behaviors, self-care and professional skills in daily life by applying individual spontaneous reaction behaviors and so-called operational constraints.

Second, autism game therapy

Game therapy is a psychotherapeutic method for autism based on willpower. In the case that children can't express and understand in words completely and clearly, therapists use children's physical functions to express psychological games instead of language as a way of communication. In the process of playing games, children can understand the separation between people and themselves, learn interpersonal and social skills, and cultivate social adaptability. The purpose of game therapy for autism is to exert children's self-healing ability through the characteristics of games, so as to express their inner complexity and make their personality develop normally.

Third, the artistic treatment of autism.

The art therapy of autism is the so-called painting therapy. Its purpose is to express the repressed emotions and conflicts in the subconscious of autistic patients through painting and its creative free expression activities, and to get relief and satisfaction from the painting process, so as to achieve the effect of diagnosis and treatment of autism.

Fourthly, sensory integration therapy for autism.

The sensory integration disorder of autistic patients is due to brain dysfunction, which can not integrate and respond appropriately to the stimulation of five basic senses: vision, hearing, touch, vestibular sensation, kinesthetic sensation of muscles and joints. The purpose of sensory integration therapy for autism is to provide the input of the above sensory stimuli and control them appropriately, so that children can guide their activities according to their internal driving forces and automatically form adaptive responses, thus promoting the combination and unity of these senses and achieving the effect of treating autism.
