Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects a person’s social interactions, communication, and behavior. ASD can be mild or severe, and symptoms can vary widely from one person to another. Some people with ASD may need little or no support, while others may need significant assistance with everyday tasks.
Until now there has been few options for dealing with the effects of autism. However, with the development of neurofeedback therapy, people with autism can now receive treatment that does not involve medication or invasive surgery. Neurofeedback aims to use technology to help treat some of the neurological problems associated with autism.
Neurofeedback for autism works by utilizing electroencephalography, or EEG, a brain wave activity test, to measure and feedback information about the brain waves of a person with autism. This real-time information helps guide the individual in changing their brain wave activity. Over time, it has been observed that this will help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with autism.
If you or someone you love has autism, this treatment may be a good option for you. Talk to your doctor and discuss what other treatments are available, so you can make the best decision for your needs.
