A new pilot study suggests a specific antioxidant supplement may be an effective therapy for some features of autism.
Researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine and
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital studied 31 children with the
disorder.
The antioxidant, called N-Acetylcysteine, or NAC, effectively reduced
irritability in children with autism and moderated repetitive
behaviors. The researchers emphasized that the findings must be
confirmed in a larger trial before NAC can be recommended for children
with autism.
