Sponsor's own description

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder of brain abnormalities. It presents with difficulties of communication and social interaction, and restrictive interests and restrictive behaviors. The CDC suggested that the popularity of ASD people is 1.5% in the US, and the male to female ratio is 4.5 to 1. In Taiwan, the popularity is around 1%, with the number increasing in recent years. The exact etiology of ASD has remained unknown. Currently, the treatments include behavioral therapies, medication and alternative therapies. However, there is no specific way to cure the core symptoms of ASD. This study plans to apply behavioral therapies and traditional Chinese medical Bian-stone therapies on ASD children and compare the results between ASD children with only behavioral therapies. We will record theAutism Behavior Checklist-Taiwan Version, Development Screening Chart for Children Aged 0-6 Years, and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Third Edition (Vineland-3) before and after the treatments, and meanwhile using the Ryodoraku Measurement (良導絡) to measure the meridian energy. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medical Bian-stone therapies in ASD children. In addition, we hope to investigate the relationship between ASD symptoms and twelve meridians and assess the patterns in Chinese medicine. Hopefully this study will help strengthen the clinical evidence in TCM treatments for ASD children and improve the efficacy of this disease.
