Neurofeedback and autism

IntenseWorld

Just wondered why the NHS is advising against Neurofeedback when there are research articles saying it is very beneficial to autistic people?

http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/docs/00/29/72/94/PDF/Kouijzer_et_al_2008_Auth.pdf (for instance).

I would have thought if it was a question of cost it wouldn't mention it at all as not many people have heard of neurofeedback and to my knowledge it's not even available on the NHS.  It appears to be listed along with potentially harmful therapies such as chelation.  Just wondered why.

  • @electra that's really interesting.  I do believe autism is a whole body condition.  I have signs of hypermobility, my youngest daughter has a diagnosis of hypermobility and my other daughter has visible signs of it too (we're all on the spectrum).  Are you able to point me in the direction of your hypermobility research?
