Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve thinking and social skills in 90 adolescents with autism. Participants receive multiple sessions of tDCS over the prefrontal cortex, with some getting booster sessions to see if benefits last longer. The goal is to ease core symptoms like social difficulties and inattention, not to cure the condition.
