¿Qué es la terapia MeRT? ¿Cómo funciona? | Con la Dra Jessenia McClean

🧠 MeRT in Autism: What It Is, What It Isn't, and What You Should Know In this episode of Autism and Me, I talk with Dr. Jessenia McClean about one of the most discussed—and also most misunderstood—therapies in the world of autism: MeRT. Throughout the conversation, we address the most frequent questions parents have: how it actually works, how it differs from other neuromodulatory therapies, what evidence exists, and what results can be expected. Far from exaggerated promises or extreme positions, this episode aims to provide clarity, sound judgment, and context for making informed decisions. In this episode we discuss: • What MeRT is and how it works • Differences between MeRT, TMS, and other neurological therapies • What types of patients can benefit • What improvements have been observed in children with autism • What the scientific evidence says to date • Myths and unrealistic expectations surrounding MeRT • What the evaluation and treatment process is like • Risks, limitations, and important considerations • The role of parents in therapeutic decision-making This conversation isn't meant to convince you. It's meant to give you clear information, based on clinical experience, so you can make an informed decision. Because in a world full of options… understanding is more important than trying everything. 🧩 Episode Topics • MeRT Therapy • Neuromodulation • Autism and the Brain • TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) • Neurological Development • Scientific Evidence in Autism • Therapeutic Interventions • Brain Plasticity • Neurological Health • Treatments for Autism 🎯 Who is this episode for?
