Autism is a behavioral and communication disorder caused by neurodevelopmental abnormalities. Art therapy can help patients improve social skills and emotional expression. This study aimed to explore the influence of ceramic art and color aesthetics on the treatment of autism.

Thirty patients diagnosed with autism were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received fusion treatment of ceramic art and color beauty, and the control group received conventional treatment. The two groups were evaluated by the Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire and the 3-minute Disorder Assessment Scale, and SPSS23.0 was used for statistical analysis.

The anxiety level of the experimental group decreased significantly after treatment, and the Stanford questionnaire score decreased from 65.3 ± 7.2 to 42.8 ± 5.9. The anxiety level of the control group did not change significantly, and the score decreased from 67.1 ± 6.8 to 65.9 ± 7.1. The cognitive ability of the experimental group was significantly improved, and the disorder assessment scale score decreased from 9.6 ± 1.2 to 4.3 ± 0.9. In the control group, there was no significant change in cognitive ability, and the score decreased from 9.8 ± 1.0 to 9.6 ± 1.2.

Ceramic art design and color aesthetic fusion therapy have significant effects on the anxiety level and cognitive ability of autistic patients. Compared with traditional treatment, this method can effectively improve patients’ emotional and cognitive functions. Art therapy has potential clinical applications in the treatment of autism.
