Autism is a neurobiological and development disorder that occurs in children and autism is becoming more frequently diagnosed. It is a disorder which affects all psyhological functions and manifests within the first three years of a child's life, and is a lifelong condition. Children with autism often appear to be like other healthy children. However, they face various challenges in life. These challenges are manifested through motor impairments, stereotypical movements, limited interests and difficulties in social interaction and communication. In oreder to ease life and improve the quality of life for a child with autism, it is important to implement therapeutic interventions and provide proffesional assistance in a timely manner. As with other neurobilogical illnesses, physiotherapists play an important role in dealing with autism. Physiotherapeutic tretments such as kinesiotherapy, Hallwich therapy, sensory integration therapy, massage therapy and hippo-therapy can help to alleviate the symptoms of autism and improve the quality of life, therefore allowing normal development through a personalised method of treatment. There is no single therapeutic method for autism, and the exact cause of auism is unknown. Timely involvement of the child in physiotherapy interventions can influence the child's proper development and improve their quality of life, ultimately allowing them to reach their full potential.
