DEVICE

Transcranial Pulse Stimulation

A total of 36 participants (both TPS group and the sham-control group) will receive six 30 minute-TPS sessions (800 pulse in each session, total: 4800 pulse) in 2 weeks' time (i.e., 3 sessions (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) per week, total: 3 hours), on a 1: 1 allocation ratio. Participants will be followed up immediately after the post-stimulation and at 1-month and 3-month period after the intervention. A 2-week TPS intervention alongside with 3-month follow-up is sufficient enough to test the effects of TPS on autism symptoms.
