Advance in exercise intervention enhancing social function in children with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a commonly observed neuropsychological behavioral disorder in children.Communication difficulty is one of the typical symptoms, which may restrict building and maintaining of social relationship, cause severe impact on daily life and personal development.While traditional therapeutic approaches offer some effectiveness, they tend to be time-consuming and expensive.In contrast, exercise intervention, a burgeoning treatment strategy, has garnered widespread attention.Neurological studies validate that exercise can rectify brain functional anomalies in ASD patients and bolster their social skills.This paper synthesizes and analyzes existing studies on exercise intervention aimed at improving the social functioning of children with autism, offering a foundational reference for the development of therapeutic and interventional strategies for ASD.
