Key Findings:
The experimental group showed greater within-group improvements in language, communication, and social skills compared to pre-test scores, with specific statistical values indicating...
No statistically significant improvements were observed in the control group.

Limitations:
Small sample size of 23 children.
Lack of significant between-group differences may limit generalizability.
Short duration of the intervention, along with potential biases or confounding factors.
Conclusion:
Mandala drawing therapy, as an adjunct to standard rehabilitation, may enhance social communication skills in children with ASD, but further research is needed to establish its efficacy, particularly in exploring specific areas such as...
