Abstract
The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of a recommended water sports program on the concentration levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the effectiveness of the program on the severity of autism. The researchers used the experimental approach on a sample of (5) children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Cars test (DSM -5) and lab tests were used for gathering data. Results indicated high levels of ploy-unsaturated fatty acids in blood samples of participants in addition to improvements on (relations with others - mimicry - emotional response - body use - objects use - activity level - verbal communication - non-verbal communication - visual response - auditory response - mental response) due to the positive effects of the recommended water sports program. The researchers recommended generalizing the application of the recommended program in addition to forming an integrated rehabilitation team to stay with autistic children including a doctor, a psychiatrist, a social worker, a sports specialist and an academic specialist.
