New Autism Treatment

By scanning the brains of babies whose siblings have autism, researchers say they have been able to make reasonably accurate forecasts about which of these high-risk infants will later develop autism themselves.

Researchers have developed a new method to map and track the function of brain circuits affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially in boys and identify the most effective treatment for an individual.

Scientists have successfully tested a new autism treatment programme in India and Pakistan that could help improve the lives of millions of autistic children in developing countries.

People with autism have too many synapses -- the connectors by which brain cells send and receive signals -- according to a new study that may point to a treatment for the complex disorder.

Risperidone is a drug prescribed for schizophrenia and other mental problems, it can quiet many of the behavioural problems in children with autism, according to a recent study.
