A new therapeutic approach for pervasive developmental disorders

There is no known curative therapy for pervasive developmental disorders which include autism, Asperger syndrome, and atypical autism. Marked improvement or disappearance of autistic features in these disorders have not been reported with any therapy before. The aim of this book is to describe a new therapeutic medical approach for the treatment of pervasive developmental disorders including autism and Asperger syndrome. All the patients with autism and Asperger syndrome treated with this new approach showed improvement and marked lessening of the autistic features with some patients showed complete disappearance of the main autistic features. No patient developed any side effects. Patients observed during the same year who didn¿t receive this new treatment or were treated with other treatments such as omega-3 and risperdone didn¿t show any lessening effect in the autistic features. However, one patient treated with citicoline injection showed improvement in the autistic features.
