Autism Spectrum disorder is a neuro-developmental condition of childhood characterized by qualitative impairment in social and communicative behaviour. There are different modalities that can be used in therapy for autism :one such intervention that can be applied in children with autism is music therapy.

This Study aims to assess the efficacy of Music Therapy in social competence .It will be tested in our cultural context with Music Therapy Protocol indigineous model and will be assessed with instruments developed in India (CDDC and ISAA).
Objectives
Primary objective**-**
To compare the change in social skill score (measured by change in CDDC score) from baseline after 8 weeks with Music therapy plus Standard of Care (SOC) versusSOC in Children with Autism Spectrum disorders.
Secondary objective-
· To compare the change in other domains (measured by change in CDDC scores) from baseline after 8 weeks with Music therapy plus standard of care vs standard of care
· To compare the change in Sensory Profile score **(**measured by change in SP-2 score) from baseline after 8 weeks with Music therapy plus standard of care vs standard of care
· To compare the change in symptom severity score (measured by change in Indian Scale for Assessment of Autism) from baseline after 8 weeks treatment with Music therapy plus standard of care vs standard of care . In children with Autism spectrum disorder;
Methods
This study is a Randomised Control Trial .Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder who are already being diagnosed based on the DSM 5 criteria are selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. There will be a baseline application of CDDC, ISSA , SP-2. Children will be Allocated into two groups ,one getting music therapy and standard of care and the other group getting standard of care. Primary and Secondary outcome assessment will be done.and analysis will be done as per ITT , PP. After 8 weeks of the therapy the children will be clinically assessed using CDDC , ISSA, SP2.
