ABSTRACT

The causes of speech disorder in children with autism spectrum have not been fully clarified, and an in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease and the progress of research on Chinese and Western medicine treatment options can provide a basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease, alleviate the pain of the children, and improve their quality of life. Through reviewing the literature to understand the latest research progress, the research progress of various scholars in the treatment of this disease in recent years was collated and reviewed. Resultly, the pathogenesis of speech disorders in children with autism spectrum is not clear, but the more accepted theory is the theory of lateralisation of language function. Numerous studies have shown that acupuncture treatment for speech disorders in children on the autism spectrum is varied, effective, and widely applicable, and acupuncture treatment has become the treatment of choice for many patients.
