Autism, a brain function disorder, is classified as one of the five types of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (Autistic Spectrum Disorders) and can be treated with an alternative method, Neurofeedback (or sometimes referred to as EEG Biofeedback).
Symptoms of autism usually appear early in a child's life, specifically before the age of three. Autistic children may have problems with communication, social interaction, behavior and may have language impairments. Adults with Autism can have Autistic traits that vary in severity and may carry on throughout adulthood. There are adults with Autism that live very normal lives and there are those who have trouble developing the skills necessary for daily living.
The cause of Autism is unknown. Some experts believe that Autism is a neurological disorder that is based upon genetics and that it may occur before birth. The reasoning behind this is recent study that showed patterns of autism that appear within certain families. A specific genetic link to autism has not yet been discovered.
An efficient treatment for clients with Autism is Neurofeedback. Sometimes referred to as EEG Biofeedback, neurotherapy or brain wave therapy, is a non-invasive computerized process that works to retrain brainwaves to function in a normal state, providing long-term results with minimal side effects. When a client receives proper Neurofeedback treatment, learning and communication skills as well as physical growth can improve.
