Case report reveals excessive laughter after transcranial magnetic stimulation in a young autistic patient, suggesting careful monitoring is crucial.

This case emphasizes the necessity for modified treatment protocols with concurrent psychiatric assessment, emotional evaluation, and neurophysiological monitoring when encountering such adverse effects during neuromodulation therapy.
