Methods: The research method is quasi-experimental (pre-test-post-test and control). The statistical population of the study consisted of all autistic children in Bushehr in 1397.

In this study, components of Giliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS) was used. Data were analyzed using SPSS-20 software and covariance analysis.
Results: The results of the data analysis showed that the effectiveness based on the theory of mind was effective on improving communication skills (F = 34.29, P≤0.001) and social interaction (F = 92/21, P≤0.001). The effectiveness of TEACCH's method was also effective on improving communication skills (F = 25.01, P≤0.001) and social interaction (F = 92/21, P≤0.001), and there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups.
