Another literature analysis shows benefits of exercise in autism. This study found a reduction in stereotypic behaviors in eight studies which included 129 children. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) can teach individuals to exercise for gradually longer time periods and my daughter Talia learned to ride an adult tricycle using ABA. School districts also need to stop removing physical therapy from children's IEPs just because they reach high school. Research is only useful if we clinically implement the evidence based findings.
