Report Abuse. Autistic Spectrum Disorder is a disorder where the person has difficulty processing sensory input in the usual way. They are not retarded or mentally challenged-it's a disorder, not a condition. Those with ASD simply process information in a different way. One person with ASD might find walking barefoot in the grass is pleasurable, another might find it intolerable.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is the use of electric current produced by a device to stimulate the nerves for therapeutic purposes.ENS, by definition, covers the complete range of transcutaneously applied currents used for nerve excitation although the term is often used with a more restrictive intent, namely to describe the kind of pulses produced by portable stimulators used to treat pain.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is done by passing an electrical impulse from a device through electrodes placed on the skin over the targeted muscle or muscles. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is often used in conjunction with physical therapy.
