Emerging research supports the use of TMS in high-functioning autistic individuals (ASD Level 1/Asperger's) to address specific neurological imbalances, particularly over-connectivity in local circuits and under-connectivity between long-range social brain networks. TMS protocols targeting the DLPFC and supplementary motor areas have shown improvements in social reciprocity, repetitive behaviors, executive function, and sensory processing in peer-reviewed clinical studies. We offer TMS for both children and adults with high-functioning autism.
Many patients who come to us for TMS have tried medications or therapy with limited results. If you recognize these patterns, a TMS evaluation may be worth exploring.
Only a qualified provider can determine whether TMS is appropriate for you. Schedule a free consultation to discuss your options.
What to Expect
TMS for autism uses individualized protocols based on qEEG brain mapping to identify each patient's unique connectivity pattern. Protocols typically target right DLPFC with inhibitory pulses and left DLPFC with excitatory pulses to rebalance hemispheric activity. We have experience treating both children (with parental consent) and adults with high-functioning autism at our California location.
From your first call to your final session, here is what to expect when starting TMS for High-Functioning Autism at Segal Telepsychiatry Network.
A board-certified provider conducts a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to confirm you are a good candidate for TMS and determine the right protocol for your condition.
We use quantitative EEG to map your brain activity and identify the precise neural circuits to target, personalizing your stimulation parameters for better outcomes.
Our team verifies your TMS benefits before your first session at no charge, so you know exactly what to expect financially.
Daily 20–40 minute sessions, Monday through Friday, for 4–6 weeks. You remain fully awake and alert, and can drive yourself home immediately after each session.
Your provider tracks your response throughout the course and adjusts the protocol if needed to optimize your results.
