Brief summary: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of vestibular and proprioceptive exercise practices on the hyperactivity level in children with autism spectrum disorder.

Detailed description: The families of all children participating in the study will be informed and their written consent will be obtained. Vestibular and proprioceptive evaluation, hyperactivity evaluation and nystagmus evaluation will be applied to each child participating in the study twice, before and after treatment. Children will be divided into two groups: an exercise group and a control group, consisting of equal numbers of patients. A classical physical therapy program will be applied to both groups. In addition to the exercise group, a treatment program including vestibular and proprioceptive exercise training will be applied. The training program for both groups will be held in 40-minute sessions, 2 days a week for 8 weeks.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* children whose voluntary consent form is signed by their parents
* Children ages 6 to 10
* not using supplements
* not having undergone any surgical operation

Exclusion Criteria:

* children who have any obstacle to exercise
* They were determined as children who could not cooperate in the study.
