Scientists have made a breakthrough in the treatment of autism. They have created a drug that can shut down the enzyme, depriving the victims of this disorder normal social behavior.
Scientists develop the first treatment of autism spectrum disorders in adults thanks to a new discovery. After decades of research experts from Florida Atlantic University have discovered a new signal pathway in the brain associated with behavioral symptoms of autism, and also found out which drugs can influence them.

However, the researchers emphasize that autism is quite often accompanied by physiological problems, especially related to bowel.
Currently, adult autism is considered to be completely incurable, but scientists have discovered a drugthat has shown the ability to influence behavioral disorders in laboratory mice, genetically programmed to manifestations of autism.
