Qigong Sensory Training (QST) has been shown through preliminary studies to reduce the symptoms of autism spectrum disorders. For example, young children with autism who have participated in the QST research studies have improvement of sensory issues, and fewer bowel and sleep problems. Language and social skills have also improved, as well as a significant reduction in autistic behavior has been seen. 

Parents have commented that QST has "opened him up," "the massage calms him down, and in turn calms me down," and "it is the first time someone gave me something I could do to help my child."
