Gale, Susan; Ozonoff, Sally; Lainhart, Janet
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n2 p205-08 Apr 2003
A study examined rates of labor induction using pitocin in 41 boys with autism and 25 matched controls with either typical development or mental retardation. There were no differences in pitocin induction rates as a function of either diagnostic group (autism vs. control) or IQ level (average vs. subaverage range). (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
