We report on the first single-blind placebo lead-in trial of acamprosate, a drug with putative mechanisms restoring E:I imbalance, in twelve youth with ASD. We conducted a 12-week single-blind, placebo lead-in study of acamprosate in youth age 5–17 years with autistic disorder. Six of nine subjects who received active drug treatment were deemed treatment responders (defined by a score at final visit of “very much improved” or “much improved” on the Clinical Global Impressions Improvement scale) and ?25 % improvement on the Aberrant Behavior Checklist Social Withdrawal subscale. Future larger-scale dose finding studies of acamprosate in ASD may be warranted given this preliminary indication of benefit.

Case Report: 16-Year-Old Male with Autistic Disorder with Preoccupation with Female Feet / Maureen C. EARLY in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-6 (June 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-6 (June 2012) . - p.1133-1137 Titre : Case Report: 16-Year-Old Male with Autistic Disorder with Preoccupation with Female Feet Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Maureen C. EARLY, Auteur ; Craig ERICKSON, Auteur ; Logan K. WINK, Auteur ; Christopher J. MCDOUGLE, Auteur ; Eric L. SCOTT, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1133-1137 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Female feet  Preoccupation  Exposure therapy  Differential diagnosis  CY-BOCS-PDD Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This paper highlights clinical challenges faced when diagnosing and then treating an individual presenting to a child and adolescent psychiatry clinic because of unwelcome comments he made to female peers about their feet. Novel use of exposure therapy helped him effectively decrease his comments from 1 to 2 times per month to once every 6 months. Conceptualizing this case as the individual’s failed attempts toward relationships with females instead of sexual harassment led to diminution of problematic behavior. Implications for diagnosis and treatment of individuals with Autistic Disorder displaying problematic behaviors are presented.
