Summary

This study tests whether a safe, painless brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve thinking skills in 90 teenagers and young adults (ages 12-22) with autism. Participants will receive real or fake stimulation while doing computer tasks that measure reaction time, memory, and attention. Researchers will also use EEG to see how the brain changes during the treatment.
