Background
This case study follows two sisters in their twenties who shared a home and a Neurofeedback system. Both women were formally diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The first sister was higher on the spectrum and not able to function independently, while the second sister was independent and lived in the household with her long-term partner. With unique but overlapping needs, they decided to rent a Neurofeedback system to use together for 12 Weeks, seeking more emotional balance and smoother daily interactions in their shared living space.
Their Journey and Results
Over the course of their Neurofeedback rental, both sisters used the system consistently and began noticing meaningful changes in how they related to themselves and each other.
The first sister experienced a reduction in daily frustration and emotional overwhelm. As her nervous system settled, she was able to express her needs more clearly and with less agitation.
The second sister found that her emotional regulation significantly improved, leading to a calmer, more connected relationship with her partner.
Their communication as siblings also became easier, with fewer outbursts and more mutual understanding.
Each woman benefitted in her own way and the changes contributed to a sense of collective ease and emotional steadiness in the home.
Whole Household Impact
The emotional shifts in both sisters had a calming ripple effect on the entire household. The shared living space became more peaceful and less reactive. The partner of the second sister noticed the difference, and all three members of the household found that daily life felt more manageable and supportive.
Conclusion
This story highlights how Neurofeedback for Autism Spectrum Disorder can support individuals with vastly different levels of independence and how sharing a system can lead to improvements not just for each person, but for the home as a whole. By calming the nervous system and improving emotional regulation, Neurofeedback helped these sisters live together more harmoniously and strengthened the relationships within their shared environment.
