Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a combination of complex neurodevelopment disabilities distinguished by impairments in communication, social interaction and by repetitive, restricted, and stereotyped patterns of behaviors, interests, and activities. Specialists who have been studying ASD have no explanation for why it is so much more prevalent than before. The new estimation represents a 15% increase in prevalence rate nationally: to (1 in 59) children, from (1 in 68) two years previous, i.e.,2016.

Neurofeedback (NFB) is a technique designed to allow individuals to manipulate their brainwaves activity and to enhance their poorly-regulated brainwave patterns. This technique, though available for some time, is rapidly gaining interest as an intervention for numerous disorders including ASD.
