Clinical Effects of Naltrexone on Autistic Behavior.
Zingarelli, Gene; And Others
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v97 n1 p57-63 Jul 1992
Eight young adults (ages 19-39) with autism were given the opiate antagonist naltrexone to control self-injurious behavior and maladaptive idiosyncratic mannerisms. Although one subject appeared to have partial decreases in maladaptive behaviors, the drug did not clearly reduce the self-injurious and other maladaptive behaviors of the subjects. (Author/JDD)
