What is more effective for children with autism: physiotherapy or occupational therapy?

I want to go into a career where I can work with children on the autistic spectrum. What kind of therapist, a patient with autism more often and most benefited? For Jose L: I do not want the kind of doctor see a patient with autism. Just the most beneficial therapy.

The vast majority of children with autism do not need or benefit from physiotherapy services. From my experience, most children with autism do not qualify for occupational therapy services. So if your goal is to work with many children on the autism spectrum, OT is a much better bet than PT.
