Autism symptoms reduced in rats

An experimental medication was found to reduce autism symptoms in mice, resulting in improved social skills and fewer repetitive behaviors, researchers from the NIH (National Institutes of Health) reported. The researchers stressed that although the results of the animal trial show promise, therapies which work on animals do not necessarily do the same with humans It is thought that approximately 1% of children suffer from some kind of ASD, ranging from mild to severe. Signs and symptoms may include delayed language skills, repetitive movements, social difficulties, obsessions, high anxiety, and an extremely strong desire for routine and structure. I think this looks promising and could potentially affect hundreds.
