Summary
This study tested whether a 16-week lifestyle program delivered through WeChat could help children with autism (ages 8-16) improve their weight. 276 families were split into three groups: usual care, the WeChat program alone, or the program plus weekly coach-led group calls. The main goal was to see changes in BMI, with follow-ups up to 24 months to check for long-term effects.
