Abstract
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has attracted attention for difficulty with social communication, where valid exam and treatment are expected. Current cases include 2 patients (32F/13M) with ASD and their mothers (61F/43F). They received procedures of music therapy (MT), Ayurvedic head massage, and measured the changes in the values of bio resonance apparatus before and after the intervention. As a result, oxytocin brought remarkable improvement among dopamine, GABA, serotonin, autonomic nerve, autism and others. Questionnaire survey showed satisfactory evaluation from all subjects. These results suggest that combined therapeutic trials would contribute the improvement of ASD, leading to future possibility of treatment.
