Exorcism

...

Exorcism therapy is a highly controversial and non-scientific approach that involves attempting to expel supposed evil spirits or demonic influences from a person. In the context of autism, exorcism therapy has no scientific basis and is widely condemned by medical professionals and autism advocacy organizations. Exorcism practices can be physically and psychologically harmful, particularly to vulnerable individuals such as children with autism. Reports have included physical abuse, emotional trauma, and even fatalities resulting from exorcism attempts.
