My son with Asperger's has also been helped by the Othmer's neurofeedback, as shown in this wonderful video.

@drlizharris

Neurotherapy has show to be very effective in treating Autism. We have seen great results @ my company!

Good luck!

My son goes to a public school and has an IEP and gets treated like shit! They say he's fine once he's on the IEP, then goes off and they bitch about it, we get him back on it after testing at hospitals, then he's on an IEP for 3 months and they take him off and say he's fine when he's not. Ppl are just not educated in this nor do they care. I took him off all his meds. They made him more depressed.

@expanton took the words right out of my mouth! I would have socked her!

That's hilarious. Good for you telling them like it is even if they did cut it haha. Some people just sustain themselves by accosting others. It is pretty pathetic. Have you looked into those new Neurosky type units for home eeg computer use? I am curious if this therapy could be adapted to the home. Right now it seems to be geared more to the gamer market but it doesn't seem a large step to adapt it as shown in this video.

@Lavinco I googled "neurofeedback" and my city, and was shown a couple of centers. Good luck!

@expanton Oh my gosh! I'm the one telling that story, and that's the part they cut off!! LOL!! I told that woman that if my sweet, loving little boy had to wear a sign that said he has autism, that she should have to wear a sign that says, "I'm a child-hating bitch" LOL! Can't imagine why they didn't include that part! ;-) :-P
