Using the quasi experimental design of the control and experimental groups, we studied the influence of the 12 week structured physical activity program on the social interaction and communication of ASD children. In this exam, we tested at pre-test, mid-term and post-test designs and tested at three time intervals to monitor the gradual change of social interaction and communication throughout the 12 week intervention period. A systematic exercise program of 12 weeks was conducted for a total of 24 exercises, each time for 60 minutes. The experimental group and the control group completed the preliminary test one week before the start of the intervention program. An interim test was conducted during the intervention and a posttest was conducted one week after the 12 week intervention plan. Figure 1 is an intervention framework
