The advantages of art therapy with autistic adult populations
Keywords:
Arte terapia. Espectro de autismo. Adultos. Crianças. Qualidade de vida. Medicação.Abstract
O tratamento e a manutenção de populações no espectro do autismo tem sido o tema de muito debate por várias décadas. Como não existe nenhum medicamento aprovado que trate das especificidades do autismo, várias terapias foram desenvolvidas para tentar melhorar a vida desses pacientes. No entanto, existe uma diferença marcante entre a qualidade dos recursos para crianças com autismo e aqueles feitos para adultos. Por meio de uma meta-análise abrangente da literatura, recursos online, e por meio de um caso composto feito de várias fontes e referências diferentes para fins de precisão, este artigo propõe que a arteterapia, e suas ferramentas exclusivas de engajamento de pacientes em um nível pessoal, é uma direção com grande potencial para o campo de estudo. Independentemente disso, é imperativo dar às populações adultas com autismo recursos de qualidade para ajudálas a navegar a vida, o local de trabalho e relacionamentos pessoais, uma vez que não se qualificam para a maioria dos serviços voltados para crianças após certa idade.
