Summary

The term or definition of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) defines a pervasive
 neurodevelopmental disorder in which deficits in communication and social interaction,
 altered sensorimotor behaviours, repetitive, restricted and stereotyped interests and
 activities are observed.
 
 One of the disorders most frequently associated with ASD, and which most affects the quality
 of life of the child and his or her family, is sleep disorders; it is estimated that between
 50 and 80 percent of children with ASD present this alteration and generally continue to
 suffer from it in adolescence and adulthood; It has also been observed that there is a
 correlation between sleep problems and an increase in aggressive behaviour, social and
 emotional deficits and deficits in activities of daily living, which severely affects the
 child and his or her close family environment; they become emotionally destabilised in a
 notorious way, and this has a negative impact on their work and productive environment.
 
 The microcurrents generated by the non-invasive neuromodulation device introduce, by means of
 a non-invasive technique (surface electrodes), electrical energy to normalise the nervous
 stimulus. This makes it an excellent complementary treatment to the activity of
 rehabilitation treatment. Its effects are achieved by establishing several input nerve
 pathways corresponding to the body's dermis, through which the signals are intellectualised
 in time-space. These signals are the basis for achieving normalisation of the nerve impulse
 by means of microcurrents.
