This article looks at the experience of Frankie, an autistic 8 1/2 year old boy. He was diagnosed mildly autistic by several specialists. One specialist claimed he was brain damaged and “autistic-like” and that there was no hope for improvement. At Frankie’s mother's request, neurotherapy diagnosis and treatment was begun. After 31 sessions, Frankie showed positive changes in all the diagnostic dimensions defining autism an DSM-III-R. This has profound implications for treatment in a field with few low-risk alternatives.
