Understanding High-Functioning Autism: Daily Challenges and Hidden Struggles

Dealing with high-functioning autism, whether it’s for yourself or for a child, comes with its own set of challenges that a lot of folks just don’t get. People with high-functioning autism can be super smart and have amazing skills in certain areas, surpassing all their peers, but they often find social situations tricky. Everyday tasks, even a simple trip to the supermarket, can easily morph into a sensory overload of sounds, smells, and sights for those contending with autism. The feeling of being misunderstood is common, and social norms which are clear as day to most, seem to be written in a foreign language. Because the struggle can be so subtle, the people closest to them may not understand what’s going on, making it even harder for them to get the support they need.

The Neuroscience of Autism: Understanding Brain Activity Patterns

While further research is needed before EEG can be used as a diagnostic tool for ASD, it is known that individuals with autism exhibit heightened EEG activity, yet reveal a deficiency in Alpha activity, especially on the right side of the brain. In simpler terms, heightened EEG activity means that a lot of the brain is in overdrive, and is overfiring on a constant basis. This explains the sensory processing issues that many people with Autism face on a daily basis. The Alpha deficiency can make it harder to relax and feel present, as well as disrupt a lot of basic brain processes.

How Neurofeedback Can Help with Autism

Neurofeedback works by treating the problem at its source. No band-aids and no quick surface-based solutions. Neurofeedback massively improves the symptoms of autism by increasing a person’s Alpha amplitudes. It has also been proven to reduce anxiety and overwhelm which often come along with Autism, and tend to exacerbate the situation. Neurofeedback can be a game changer for those living with Autism, helping them improve in the areas they lack most and refine their cognition and communication skills.

Neurofeedback is especially suited to clients struggling with ASD because, unlike traditional therapies, this is not talk based. Here, most of the work happens at a subconscious level, making it the perfect fit for clients who may face cognitive barriers and would find the open communication required in conventional therapies difficult and overwhelming.

Neurofeedback: Non-invasive autism therapy

Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive. It’s just you, your brain, and some clever technology working together to help you feel better.

The changes you’ll experience with neurofeedback can stick with you, helping you maintain those positive vibes long after your sessions are over.
