Researchers are studying the brain's response to language and sound. This study uses a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), an investigational form of brain stimulation, to measure how different parts of the brain communicate in teens with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Findings from this study may aid in the development of possible future treatments.
