Innovative ideological and political education for intervention in autism

Abstract

Background

College students are among the high-risk population for autism, making it crucial to explore effective intervention methods for their development. This study aims to provide effective intervention strategies and support through innovative ideological and political education for college students with autism.

Participants and Methods

The study included 100 college students with autism who received innovative ideological and political education as the experimental group, and another 100 college students with autism as the control group. The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) was used to evaluate both groups, and the innovative ideological and political education intervention was conducted. The intervention consisted of 4 cycles as one treatment course with 5 days in one cycle. Autism scores were tested for both groups at each cycle until three treatment courses were completed.

Results

After one treatment course, the average scores for the experimental and control groups were 74 and 73, respectively. After three treatment courses, the average scores were 58 and 72 for the experimental and control groups, respectively. The experimental group showed significant improvement in autism symptoms and enhanced social and communication abilities after receiving the innovative ideological and political education intervention. There were no significant changes in autism symptoms and social abilities in the control group.

Conclusions

Innovative ideological and political education has a positive intervention effect on autism among college students. These research findings provide evidence-based intervention methods and support for college students with autism, helping them better integrate into social environments and develop their potential.
