Nagamitsu, Shinichiro; And Others
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v27 n2 p155-63 Apr 1997
A Japanese study measured CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) levels of beta-endorphin in 19 children (ages 4-6) with infantile autism and in 3 children (ages 10-14) with Rett syndrome. In infantile autism, levels did not differ significantly from control participants (n=23). However, levels were significantly higher in those with Rett syndrome. (Author/CR)
