Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Yoga as a holistic mind-body intervention is increasingly evaluated for the management of various autism symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

METHODOLOGY: Forty-three children with ASD from 4 special schools were randomized into two groups, yoga group: 23 children and control group: 20 children. The yoga group received 12 weeks of yoga intervention in special schools.

RESULTS: Significant improvement in the yoga group was noted in the overall autism severity (<0.001) as reported by the parents in comparison to the control group.

CONCLUSION: The findings of the study show that yoga can have a positive impact on the symptomatology of autism.
