Autism
(TMS Treatment)
What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
At Genesis TMS, we believe Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is not a disorder of behavior—but a condition of neurodevelopment, where the brain is wired differently, not incorrectly. ASD affects communication, social interaction, sensory processing, and behavior regulation, often in ways that the world doesn’t yet understand. Autism is a spectrum—not a single profile. Each person with ASD has unique strengths and challenges, and no two individuals are the same. That’s why our approach at Genesis is always personalized, brain-based, and respectful of neurodiversity.
Common Signs of Autism
Social Communication
- Difficulty with eye contact
- Limited use of gestures or facial expressions
- Challenges in conversation or back-and-forth play
- Delayed speech or atypical language use
- Difficulty understanding social cues
Behavioral/Sensory
- Repetitive movements (e.g., flapping, rocking)
- Strong resistance to change or transitions
- Intense interests in specific topics or objects
- Sensory sensitivities to light, sound, texture
- Unusual responses to sensory input

Who Is Affected by Autism?
According to the CDC, 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is now diagnosed with autism. Boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed than girls, although girls are often under-identified due to more subtle social coping skills.
ASD Affects:
- Children from all ethnic, cultural, and economic backgrounds.
- Both verbal and nonverbal individuals.
- Families navigating co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or intellectual delays. In many cases, early signs appear before the age of 3—but diagnosis may not occur until later, especially in milder or atypical presentations.
What Causes Autism?
Genetic predispositions
In-utero or birth complications
Environmental exposures (e.g., toxins, inflammation)
Neurological differences in connectivity, rhythm, and regulation
How Genesis TMS Treats the Brain in Autism
While autism is not something to “fix,” many individuals with ASD experience debilitating co-occurring symptoms that interfere with quality of life. These include:
- Severe anxiety
- Sleep disturbances
- Emotional dysregulation
- Sensory overwhelm
- Depression or mood instability
- Attention and focus difficulties
- Explosive behavior or shutdowns
Genesis TMS uses non-invasive magnetic stimulation to gently modulate the areas of the brain associated with these symptoms. We never attempt to “normalize” a child—but we work to help the brain feel safer, calmer, and more regulated, so the child can thrive as their authentic self.
Empowering Families, Not just Clients
Genesis doesn’t stop with brain stimulation. We collaborate with families, educators, and behavioral therapists to:
- Reinforce emotional regulation
- Support behavioral goals
- Improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning
- Provide hope through measurable change
Many parents tell us:
“For the first time, I saw my child calm, focused, and smiling.”
