Opioids

"Opioid theory of autism - first proposed by Panksepp, confirmed by Reichelt and Shattock - which held that children with autism had many abnormal peptides (small pieces of partially broken down proteins) in their urine, including casomorphine and gliadomorphin... Autistic children studied had casomorphine and gliadomorphin unless they were on the diet. More importantly, he also found 2 other morphine-related compounds, dermorphin and deltorphin II, in the urine of these children. (Alan Friedman)"[1]

Endogenous opioids

Oxytocin

  • Meta-analysis: In 19 clinical trials, covering autism, social anxiety, postnatal depression, obsessive-compulsive problems, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder and post-traumatic stress, the effects of oxytocin administration were tested, with doses ranging from 15 IU to more than 7000 IU. However, of all disorders, only studies on autism spectrum disorder showed a significant combined effect size.[2]
