Summary

This study tests whether shining a special light on the head (transcranial photobiomodulation) can reduce autism symptoms in children aged 2 to 8. Eighty children with autism will receive either real or fake (sham) light treatments to see if it helps with social skills and behavior. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug way to ease symptoms.
