Study Summary
The main purpose is to study brain plasticity (the changes that occur in the brain through experience) in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research suggests that during development, the brains of individuals with ASD may change in response to their experiences differently than the brains of typically developing individuals. Investigators want to understand why and how this difference may contribute to the symptoms of ASD.
Primary Outcome
Synaptic plasticity will be measured using the MEPs in response to cTBS. Baseline MEPs will be calculated before cTBS, and at different time points following cTBS up to 120 minutes. The investigators will compare post-cTBS MEPs to the baseline MEPs to calculate the percent change from baseline.
Interventions
