This paper reviews the features and development of VR technologies and their applications in medical treatments and mental health. It presents a history of discovery and understanding of ASD and the framework of an ASD non drug therapy system. A new treatment based on VR for ASD treatment is then introduced by analyzing the relation between VR and ASD, with various issues for research and development of VR-ASD treatment being discussed. New discoveries,new ideas, and massive experimental experience and skill are surveyed. Future research and development directions are prospected as well.
