Dr. Julie Kim discusses how MeRT can help those with Autism

At our Open House For Autism in San Diego, Dr. Julie Kim and N.P. Kayleigh Prowse explain how MeRT helps the autistic patient. They show changes that they have seen on qEEGs with patients throughout their treatment duration, and answered questions from the crowd.

So it seems like the disorganised brain waves are likely to be caused by anxiety /hypervigilance state based on the neuro-conditions MeRT is treating. It also would explain how it feels internally as an autistic person, like my conciousness is having to gain control from other areas of the brain. Essentially sounds like MeRT is attempting to reduce and stabilise the anxiety response which we could get stuck in due to being in that heighten state of alertness for so long. Does that sound accurate?

Cool. An effective treatment the overwhelming majority of us will never have access to because insurance definitely isnt going to cover this and most of us wont be able to afford it out of pocket either

[@blessed_jess_4eva]

It hurts me severely
I wish I could afford this for my kids

[@jeffknowlton5200]

I feel your pain. Welcome to the real world! 🙅‍♀️

I agree. I did this for my daughter at the Newport location when she was 3 1/2. I saw a slight improvement. You have to do it for about 6 weeks minimum for it o be effective from what I remember. We had to save up for it. Not only for the treatment, but for the AirBnB as well because are not from that area. My wife had to request a leave from work and luckily I was able to work remote while being out there. The entire cost was around 15-17k (all expenses), not including wife missing work. I wish insurance would cover and/or they made it more affordable for us to get treatment.

@@escf have you seen any improvement from the treatment.

[@vibfft]

⁠was slight improvement worth it? My daughter is mildly autistic. My take is that the improvements are temporary and hence you do it every 6 months. It may not be permanent. Any improvement related to a young child may be due to their normal development

[@k.lambda4948]

waitaminute. at 03:15 it says peak prevalence at 8 years old? Does this mean that the children are _getting better_? Or does it mean that's when they start learning to mask?

MeRT and Hbot seem the most promising. Even if not cured any improvement will improve life.

[@marynally459]

I totally agree! I am doing whatever I can to help my 31 year-old son with autism function at a higher level.

[@braintreatmentcenternewpor1311]

MeRT treatment can be a complimentititve treatment to other therapies.

[@BeMoreOfYourself1984]

Thank you

[@itstartswithyou9132]

Is the treatment covered by insurance?

[@amnarehman3625]

How many sessions of treatment are needed ?

[@braintreatmentcenternewpor1311]

Since every brain is unique, it depends on the individual. However, we recommend between 4-8 weeks of treatment.
