In this video, we will cover, a treatment that could possibly cure autism and help overcome autism. It is also known as Autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

We will also tackle what solutions you can use to overcome a child's Autism and help them become exponentially better without the need for daily medication.

🧠 What is (Neurofeedback)?
Neurofeedback Therapy or Neurofeedback s intended to teach people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to control their own brain waves.

Practitioners place electrodes on a person’s scalp to record the brain waves. The person sees the brain waves while watching a video. Practitioners reinforce desirable changes in the brain waves (i.e., making the brain waves more like those of people without ASD) by continuing the video; they discourage other changes by stopping the video.

🔎 What is Autism?
Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. Parents often notice signs during the first three years of their child's life. These signs often develop gradually, though some autistic children experience regression in their communication and social skills after reaching developmental milestones at a normal pace.

📰 What Causes Autism?
Autism is associated with a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Risk factors during pregnancy include certain infections, such as rubella, toxins including valproic acid, alcohol, cocaine, pesticides, lead, and air pollution, fetal growth restriction, and autoimmune diseases.

🔎🔎 Is There a Cure for Autism or at least a treatment to reduce it?
Behavioral, psychological, education, and/or skill-building interventions may be used to assist autistic people to learn life skills necessary for living independently, as well as other social, communication, and language skills.

Therapy also aims to reduce challenging behaviors and build upon strengths. Some autistic adults are unable to live independently. An autistic culture has developed, with some individuals seeking a cure and others believing autism should be accepted as a difference to be accommodated instead of cured.

🔎🔎🔎 How many people are affected by Autism?
Globally, autism is estimated to affect 24.8 million people as of 2015. In the 2000s, the number of autistic people worldwide was estimated at 1–2 per 1,000 people. In the developed countries, about 1.5% of children are diagnosed with ASD as of 2017, from 0.7% in 2000 in the United States. It is diagnosed four to five times more often in males than females.

🤔 Signs and symptoms:
Overt symptoms gradually begin after the age of six months, become established by age two or three years, and tend to continue through adulthood.
