Summary

This study explores whether autistic adults have too much 'plasticity' (flexibility) in the part of the brain that controls movement, and if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can reduce that over-plasticity to improve motor function. Researchers will compare brain activity and movement skills in 150 autistic and non-autistic adults aged 18-40. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms behind motor difficulties, not to cure autism.
