Professor revives autism debate - The Guardian 22nd September 2007

Thousands of children with autism in the UK could benefit from taking drugs such as Prozac, a US psychiatrist said yesterday. Professor Eric Hollander, from the Mount Sinai medical centre in New York, said a third of children diagnosed in the United States were on antidepressants and British children were being under-treated. Although the drugs are not licensed for autism, he said there was evidence they could reduce its symptoms, enabling some children to travel on public transport or go to mainstream schools.
