Treatment options for these entities that improvelong-term outcomes are limited. The heterogeneity inherent in autism spectrum disordersand 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 reflexologyin the treatment of ASD. The authors describe 1 clinical case of a patient with autismspectrum disorders, demonstrating the exceptional importance of comprehensive treatmentof these disorders.
