Peer reviewedSaliba, Joseph R.; Griffiths, Mike – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1990
This case study describes a 12-year-old boy with autism in association with the folate-sensitive fragile site fra(2)(q13). Cytogenetic results of blood analysis are described, and two possibilities are discussed: the fragile site may be a coincidental finding unrelated to the autism, or may represent an area of potential gene damage.

Peer reviewedHirsch, Nancy; Myles, Brenda Smith – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 1996
A pica box (containing items safe to chew) was used as an intervention with a 10-year-old autistic girl with pica behaviors in a special education setting. Evaluation using an ABAB design (varying in availability of the pica box) found a decrease in pica attempts when the pica box was available to the student. (DB)
