Abstract :
Since the discovery of autism, research into the treatment of the disease has continued and improved. Currently, the majority of treatments are centered on individual face-to-face therapies. This paper presents and realizes a new and unique perspective for autism treatment — virtual community treatment. Therapeutic use of virtual communities and interactive simulation are better able to help patients to achieve improved therapeutic effects and adapt to real life.
