The Healing Effect of Music on People with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract
Now that autism is more common, it is essential to study how to treat autism. Generally speaking, the methods to treat autism include Applied Behavior Aanalysis (ABA), etc., but exploring other ways is essential. The influence of music as a flowing art on people is difficult to estimate. As a new frontier discipline, music therapy is necessary in treating special people. This paper briefly summarizes the effects of sensory processing and music on the emotions and sensory integration of autistic patients, as well as some standard methods of music therapy, and appeals to more people to pay attention to the auxiliary therapeutic effect of music on autistic patients. The paper concluded that collaborations between music therapists, neuroscientists, educators, and caregivers hold the key to harnessing the holistic benefits of music for individuals with autism. By pooling their expertise and insights, we can develop comprehensive programs that harness the therapeutic potential of music and amplify its impact across different dimensions of autism.
