Abstract

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) affect 1–2% of the population worldwide [1]. The majority of people diagnosed with ASD, including those without intellectual disabilities, experience severe behavioral and functional impairments that require corrective measures (in particular, executive functions) [2]. Treatment options for these entities that improve long-term outcomes are limited. The heterogeneity inherent in autism spectrum disorders and the lack of consistent biological markers are key challenges for innovative treatments. The aim of the work is to discuss the results of the use of physiotherapy and reflexology in the treatment of ASD. The authors describe 1 clinical case of a patient with autism spectrum disorders, demonstrating the exceptional importance of comprehensive treatment of these disorders.
