Autism: Breaking Through (26 minutes) |
This program examines the causes and symptoms of autism and the various treatment options available: the use of fenfluramine, which lowers the level of blood seratonin and has a positive effect on as many as 25% of autistic patients; behavior modifications; and the treatment program developed by Dr. Kirjo Kitahara of Japan, which relies heavily on physical exercise and group interaction with normal children. This last has led to the establishment of a research center outside Boston dedicated to confirmation of the hypothesis that symptoms displayed by autistic children result from physiologic, hormonally controlled anxiety. |
