Data & Stats
● Typically appears in the first three years of life.
● 4x more common in males than in females
In the 90s : estimated 5 out of 10 000 people were diagnosed with ASD
11. Les types de Mémoire
Data & Stats
"The CDC prevalence figure is showing a true increase in those being diagnosed with autism. We are not better at diagnosing. There is no
widening of the diagnostic criteria or any other excuses. We have more autism. With the reality of this increase, I hope more people will care. As
the number of cases continues to increase at an alarming rate the result is more and more families and their children need services and support,"
said Lisa Ackerman, Founder and Executive Director of TACA
Now : About 1 in 36
children had been
diagnosed with ASD

13. Les types de Mémoire
Information
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) =
● early developmental disorder, like ADHD
● invisible disability
14. Les types de Mémoire
Information
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) =
● early developmental disorder, like ADHD
● invisible disability
Why “Spectrum” ?
● difficulties vary from one person to another
● the combination, manifestation and intensity of symptoms are not expressed in the same way
Autism = diversity of profiles
With or without intellectual disability, with or without associated disorders, etc...
15. Common early signs :
● Hand flapping
● Walking on tiptoes
● Repetitive movement (head banging for ex.)
● Screaming (like sensory meltdown)
● Lack of verbal response / to their name
● Avoid eye contact
● Language Delays: Lack of speech / communication
● Lack of facial expressions/gestures
● Problems with food / texture (sensory issue)
Other signs:
● Gastro-intestinal issues - diarrhea, constipation, food
intolerance, gas, bloating, abdominal pain/discomfort, and a
history of reflux
● Sleep Disorders: 44-83% in ASD & more severe in ASD
than normal
● Motor Dysfunction: hypotonia, motor dyspraxia, gross
motor delays, toe walking
● Head Size: macroencephaly at 98% for age abnormal brain
growth
Les types de Mémoire
Symptoms
The best-known are easy to spot, but far from representative
of the entire spectrum.
16. Les types de Mémoire
Symptoms
● Present from birth and persisting into adulthood
● First signs between 18 and 36 months (not systematic)
Children & adults with ASD may show :
● impaired social interaction (theory of mind...)
● communication difficulties (language & non-verbal communication)
● behavioural problems (restricted, stereotyped and repetitive movements or interests/activities)
● unusual sensory reactions (hypo or hyper)
● Cognitive problems (executive, flexibility, etc.)
17. Les types de Mémoire
Symptoms
● Baby too quiet OR too restless: not very energetic, does not move OR constantly seeking sensory
stimulation (climbing, jumping, etc.)
● Indifferent to the world around them: does not react to noises, to people around them, or to their
name, does not look in the eyes, does not point
● Likes to line up objects or spin them
● Few facial expressions (no smile), difficulty communicating and expressing him, difficulty managing
and identifying his own emotions and/or those of others; difficulty understanding social situations
● Sensory particularities: food, noises, textures, lights, smells, pain, managing the body in space, etc
● Specific interests, sometimes restricted or "strange"
18. Les types de Mémoire
Comorbidity
Disorders frequently associated with autism :
● ADHD
● Dys disorder (learning disabilities)
● High IQ or intellectual deficiency
● Epilepsia
● Sleep issue
● Anxiety, depression or burnout
● OCD
● Eating disorders
19. Les types de Mémoire
Etiology/Causes Multifactorial!
20. Les types de Mémoire
There is some concerns about glyphosate’s safety and
potential health consequences for human although there is no
scientific consensus on this issue.
There are suggestions stating that there may be a link
between maternal glyphosate exposure and the increased risk for
the development of autism in offspring with possible
pathophysiological mechanisms (unknown).
Cause for Increase in prevalence ?
Toxicity in the environment…
Correlation Causality
21. Environmental factors during pregnancy
● (Neuro)inflammation & viruses: infection during pregnancy
→ high level of inflammatory molecule (interleukin-17a)
→ affects brain development + maternal microbiota
● Inflammation of intestines, intestinal flora less supplied or different
● Maternal obesity, diabetes or immune system disorders
● Prenatal exposure to toxins: medications, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, endocrine disruptors...
● Birth difficulty leading to periods of oxygen deprivation to the baby’s brain or Extreme
prematurity or very low birth weight
Les types de Mémoire
Etiology/Causes
22. Les types de Mémoire
Etiology/Causes
Neurological
● Crack in mirror neurons (imitation and learning from others) + local decrease in grey matter
in this area (basis of empathetic behaviour)
● Hypoactive Pars opercularis (facial gesture)
● Underconnectivity of long fiber (less dense network) & decreased short-distance bundle
connectivity
○ → gray matter is “nosier”
○ → reduce wiring (severity of social and repetitive symptoms)
⇒ this increased density of cortical minicolumn with reduce lateral inhibition
● Defects in the set-up and organization of certain brain networks: hippocampus, amygdala,
cerebellum, ventricles, caudate nucleus, corpus callosum…
23. Les types de Mémoire
Etiology/Causes
Neurological
● Salience network dysfunction : hypoactive, dysregulated in specific cognitive processes that
enable adaptation to a social context
● Anterior Insula : underconnected & underactive(equivalent to level of alexithymia)
● Amygdala :
○ larger volume on both side → sensitivity, information is not transmitted to other part of the brain,
sensory overload because of abnormal neuron.
○ In ASD, the amygdala reach adult size at 8yo → increased fear / anxiety, more stress response to
environment
● Septal Nuclei abnormality
24. Les types de Mémoire
Etiology/Causes
Neurological
● Cerebellum : in both hemisphere, less purkinje cell → balance / autonomic function issue
○ This leads to :
“Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome”
Impairment in working memory, planning, verbal fluency, abstract reasoning, perseveration, bland or inappropriate affect,
poor spontaneous conversation, unusual prosody, abnormal syntax structure…
● Hippocampus : deficit of complexity of dendritic branching (expressing emotion)
● Mini column = little unit of organisation of cells
● Disrupted Homeostasis of Neuronal receptors: e.g. mGluR5/glutamate
Glutamate (excitatory neurotransmitter) GABA (calming neurotransmitter) are required to work in
synchronization but in ASD there is an excess of Glutamate and lack of GABA → gives anxiety impulsivity, night
awakening…

the minicolumn

25. Genetic
● Genetic level
● Affects 10-20% of autistic people
● To date, around a hundred genes have been identified

Type of neurofeednack that works great :
- SCP(slow cortical potential)
- IFS (infraslow)
- Loreta z score
- Hemoencephalograph : encourage the oxygen to move to frontal lobes
- Neuro-Stimulation also helps
Important : an early intervention leads to the best developmental outcome (before 12 is the best, but
it’s never too late !)
29. What does the brain tell us when we examine it?
Far too often, the state of health/functioning of our brain is totally ignored... It is rarely
investigated (unless there is a suspicion of epilepsy or head trauma).
However, the brain manages our entire body/nervous system in interaction with our organs, our
environment, our experience... It's the master !
So let's give it a voice
Let's listen to it, because it has a lot to say...!
31. ● Painless
● Does not allow observation brain
lesions
● No diagnosis
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Example 19 canals recording
EEG Cap 19 canals without gel
Allows observation of electrical activity in brain regions

33. Quantitative EEG (qEEG)
Different from the EEG :
● EEG = neurophysiological activity of the cerebral cortex over time
● qEEG = same measurement, but accompanied by physical and mathematical analyses to quantify
numerous brain parameters
→ graphic representation of electrical brain activity
→ observations of wave deregulations (over/under-activations)
qEEG Notion : Normative comparison, Gausse Curve, Z-Score

48. Neurotherapy
Neurofeedback is a generic term and non protected.
There is various type of neurofeedback : stay vigilant ! Some types are scientifically validated
and proven, others are just a fancy thing...
Neurofeedback has been around for almost 60 years (cf. Dr Barry Stermann 1967), with a solid
scientific basis.
We use more than just neurofeedback! Which is why we call it neurotherapy
50. 1. Brainwaves are measured (EEG).

54. An essential part of a neurofeedback session.
Rare are the practices that combine it with neurofeedback, yet :
● Boosts energy levels
● Activates neuroplasticity → helps the brain enter the desired state
● (re) production of deficient waves and/or reduction of surplus waves
● Accelerates results (shorter treatment time)
Neuromodulation
57. Magnetic neurostimulation
● Reproduces the body's natural frequencies / nervous system
● Can be placed in various locations:
○ On the gut : helps restore optimal intestinal function, stimulates the production
of neurotransmitters (ex : Serotonin)
○ On the head : for specific protocols
○ On the body : helps reduce inflammation or temporary pain
58. Neuroprotective and self-repairing effects, etc.
Photobiomodulation (light)
Infrared light energy → ATP production
→ cell repair
Activates cell regeneration
by eliminating oxidative stress
in the body and brain
Brain functions are boosted and stimulated

61. ● Regulation of the autonomic nervous system via the inner ear
& eardrum (sympathetic VS parasympathetic) ⇒ polyvagal theory
Helps with :
● Trauma/PTSD
● Depression, anxiety, stress
● Sleep issue, cognitive impairment
● ADHD, Autism, Dys and others developmental issue
● ….
Part of neurotherapy, in addition to neurofeedback sessions
Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
Vagus nerve & polyvagal theory
62. Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
People with ASD have an autonomic dysregulation : their nervous system is responding to the environment in a
“sympathetic way” (sensory overload/stress) instead of answering in a “parasympathetic” way (calm, serenity,
security).
Studies show that SSP helps people with ASD or with hypersensitivity to feel calm, able to communication/answer
and feeling less hyperactive/overwhelmed.
See : supporting adults with autism thanks to the SSP (Burns, 2022; Kawai et al., 2023; Rajabalee et al., 2022)

64. En lien avec le sujet du jour
Here is what we can improve/treat/helps with neurofeedback :
Which potential can we unlock ?
● OCD & Tics behavior / movements
● Emotional management difficulty
● Mood disorder (dépression, sadness, losing motivation…)
● Anxiety, agitation impulsivity
● Lack of flexibility, can’t manage change/frustration or novelty
● Cognitive difficulty : langage, focus, attention, memory, organization planification…
● Social & relational difficulty (helps with communication)
● Sensory difficulty, overwhelmed
● Sleep issue, fatigue
● Epilepsia
● Digestion/view/auditive.. issue
● Low self esteem
● …
66. When does it works or doesn’t work ?
A poor hygiene lifestyle is one of the first factors to deteriorate the state of the brain and body !!
● Nutrition
○ Reduce sugar : creates inflammation + electric discharge in the brain, overexcites and can lead to anxious
feelings
○ Hydratation : without water → headaches + cognitive impairment
○ Beware of allergies and intolerances !
● Physical activity : energy release, muscular and immune system stimulation, toxins evacuated... improves
attention span
● Sleep : without energy, it’s impossible to function
● Diminished screen time
● Compliancy
67. Neurofeedback is not infallible and has its limits. It’s not going to work as much as it can if :
● You are Non-compliant = customers who don't follow instructions, don't apply
recommendations, don't get 100% involved in treatment
● Your environment is not good : poor lifestyle (e.g. sugar), toxic peers (family, work, etc.)
● Too many medications or health problems: these can slow down the effects of the
treatment or prevent us from seeing the real state of the brain → more sessions are needed
● Metal plates and other cranial devices (hearing aids are not a problem)

79. Review, they talk about it better than we do
“I first learned about Neurofeedback from a mother who used the Thomatis therapy and Oxygenotherapie therapy for her
multihandicapped daughter, which I also used for Leyla. Then I searched the net and came across a conference on YouTube
about Neurofeedback in Luxembourg. It was Mélanie and François speaking on the video. After watching it, I was
immediately interested. I spoke to Mélanie by telephone. Then we scheduled a Brain Map and 10 Neurofeedback sessions.
My daughter was diagnosed at the age of 2 and a half. Leyla is a sweet, calm girl with mild to moderate autism. She doesn't
speak, doesn't imitate, doesn't understand and has a slightly shifty gaze. Leyla still wears diapers at that time.
After 10 neurofeedback sessions and the safe and sound there were changes ! Leyla began to repeat all the words we told
her to repeat, with pronunciation that wasn't great but it was huge progress. She started to imitate and repeat. She's more
present with us, and our glances are friendly and reciprocal. She smiles when we smile at her. And now : Leyla is
potty-trained and no longer wears a diaper during the day.
I dropped the thomatis and Oxygenotherapie therapies because they weren't scientifically proven. And there were no
concrete cases of autism for whom it had worked. I really advise you to go and do the neurofeedback sessions in
Luxembourg. They know a lot and the building is super pretty. The in initial assessment and analysis carried out by the team
is very detailed, and they really go deep to explain in detail the problems and dysfunctions of the brain.
For your information, I come from the east of France, and even if someone told me there was a neurofeedback center near
my home, I wouldn't go. We have already rescheduled sessions for Leyla.
