Abstract

The pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is unclear, and rehabilitation is currently the main treatment. This does have some efficacy in improving the cognition, communication and expression of children with ASD, but it tends to be more of a mechanical learning outcome, and the side effects of Western medicine treatment are obvious. In this paper, we make a systematic elaboration on the treatment of ASD with Chinese medicine, explaining its specific operation method and mechanism of action to provide clinical reference, but the current application and promotion of Chinese medicine for ASD is less than expected.
