Summary
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce certain autism symptoms, such as repetitive behaviors and hyperactivity, in children and young adults aged 4 to 17. Researchers will apply a mild electrical current to a part of the brain involved in coordination and social skills. The goal is to see if the treatment is well-tolerated and leads to noticeable improvements.
