Brief Report: Response to Methylphenidate in Two Children with William Syndrome.

Power, Thomas J.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v27 n1 p79-87 Feb 1997

This study explored the use of methylphenidate with two boys (ages 7 and 8 years) with Williams syndrome, a genetic disorder frequently accompanied by symptoms associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Both boys performed optimally on 10 mg of methylphenidate administered twice daily, although one displayed increased passivity at home. Contextual effects are also discussed. (PB)
