Any one up on brain wave patterning in the Autistic or Asperger's child or adult?

I am told that brains of different syles are known to pattern differently, and that childremn tend to differ from adults, and that people of my general style ten to have enhanced beta. And that is about all I know.

autism brain wave study

as for me, i am no expert, just an aspie- my 8-year-old brain waves were noted to have notably lower overall amplitude than average. that was all i was able to overhear them talking about.

I spent some time with a practitioner of neurofeedback training once: had a brain scan, went over the results with him. He picked out certain peaks and valleys on the charts and set up his machines, and I sat in front of the screens through endless dull hours before a second scan showed that the things he'd wanted to change had in fact changed in the right direction.
Fascinating stuff. Of course, none of it made much difference to me. There's some small evidence that I'm not quite as sharp-edged as I was before; perhaps even better adjusted, although that's a stretch.

I've had an EEG once and I could see all the wavy lines on the screen, I noticed that the woman doing the test would occasionally circle certain bits and pieces on the graph but I don't know what this means....after a load of tests the neurologist said that 'on balence' he felt I had migraines and not epilepsy, but from that language I've always wondered if there were some odd readings on that EEG, wish I could ask but this was a very long time ago now.
