Purpose: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in social interaction.. It is referred to as cerebral lateralization abnormality. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the different unilateral or lateralized therapeutic applications associated with left cerebral lateralization decreased autistic symptoms. Methods: Autistic symptoms were assessed in six autistic children following stimulation and/or evoking techniques specifically for the left cerebral hemisphere. Results: The use of left cerebral hemisphere stimulation and/or evoking techniques decreased the autistic symptoms in four of the children with autism. Conclusions: These approaches show promise as a technique to restore dominance delay in the left hemisphere in children with autism and can be useful as a complementary treatment to the other modern methods.
