Summary

This study looked at whether adding game elements to tai chi can improve thinking skills and reduce challenging behaviors in children with autism. About 100 children aged 9 to 12 took part. They were split into three groups: one did gamified tai chi, one did regular tai chi, and one continued their usual activities. The goal was to see if the game-like version helped more with memory, focus, and flexibility.
