Summary

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation that can be delivered in a home setting. It is a safe and tolerable intervention that has shown promise for improving positive social communication and self-regulation in youth with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children and youth with ASD will be randomized to At-home tDCS or sham control stimulation for 3 weeks. We will measure the effect of At-home tDCS on the brain mechanisms and clinical measures of social communication and self-regulation..
