While there are no drugs that can correct the underlying neurological problems in (autism drugs used in other condition . Are sometimes used to treat symptoms or behaviors associated with autism. And may be helpful for some patient. Sever hyperactivity ,impulsive, attention difficulties. and anxiety maybe reduced with medication. Allowing the person with autism to take benefit more from his educational and behavioral treatment.
But there are widely. Differing opinions among researchers and expert, regarding benefits and potential for harm , when anti depressant and anti psychotic. Drugs are used for children with autism.
Lines in the treatment of autism:
Biochemical:
Food – vitamin supplements medication
* Neuron sensory :
Over stimulation – Auditory training – language therapy – facilitated communication.
* Psycho dynamic:
Holding therapy – psychotherapy – psycho analysis
* Behavioral:
Discreet trial Loves , behavioral modification
biochemical approaches:
(vit B6)
Vit B are frequently used in autism treatment it have an Important role in creating enzymes needed by brain and many study showed the use of vit B6 in combination with Mg needed to make vit B6 more effective.
Improve eye contact , attention , learning (abilities) , in about 30-40% , of the patient.
dimethyle glycerine:
Used as nutritional supplement help in general well being and improvement of communicative skills.
And other supplementation vitc, vitD, and cod liver oil , vit B12 (Mega vit therapy)
* Removal of Gluten and Casein from the Diet
Gluten protein present in wheat , rye casein is protein present in human, caw milk.
Higher than normal of certain peptide present in the urine of children with autism
Suggesting in complete break down of this proteins in to amino acid , over absorption , of peptide that affect brain function.
Removal of this protein only way for prevention of father neurological damage.
Yeast free diet
Over growth of yeast Candida Albicans in the intestine of the children with Autism.
Lead to leaky gut realsing toxin in the blood and affecting brain function.
Excess Candida Albinism treated with medication (Nystatin).
Non medication ( grapefruit seed extract).
DAN Protocol
Project of Autism Research Institute in treatment and diagnosis . Of autistic patient.
- Casein and gluten free diet.
- elimination of junk food and other food containing refined sugars and
added number of dietary supple supplement Ca , Mg , Vit C Vit B5 , Vit B6 , DMG (Vit B16 ), large shots of Vit B12
Mega vit therapy.
Anti Psychotic drugs that used in treatment of autism :
1- Drugs act on . Dopaminergic system
Neuroleptic drugs (CHLOR PROMAIZE) this drug used firstly in treatment of schizophrenia their use in autism is less easy to justify because dopamine level is already diminished and this medication will decrease it further.
2- Drugs act on serotonergic system
It was found that serotonin level higher in about 35-40% in cases of autism
A) Non selective serotonin inhibitor FENFLURAMIN which decrease level of circulating serotonin
B) Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SERTERALINE)(Zoloft)- Prozac.
Second generation of anti depressant.
Studies reveal significant improvement in preservative behavior –social withdrawal and behavioral rigidity.
3-DRUGS ACT ON GABA SYSTEM DIAZEPAM :used to reduce anxiety therefore seem to be appropriate for autism treatment.
4-DRUG INHIBITING OPIOID SYSTEM
(NALTREXONE)
It was found that some autistic patient have high level of circulating endorphin
This is responsible for little sociability , fixes on strange object , little or no pain sensation
NALTREXONE block opioid receptor in preventing action of endorphin this give positive result (more sociability, more communication ,reduction of self injury
