Core Tip To further improve intervention outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder, this study evaluated the combination of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and sandplay therapy. Compared with sandplay therapy alone, the combined intervention yielded significantly greater improvements in children’s developmental level, intervention efficacy, and sociability. It also reduced autism severity and improved sleep quality.
