12 May 2010Two new research projects concerning Autism Spectrum Disorder and Fragile X Syndrome are briefly reviewed. In the first, a random controlled study of children with Autism Spectrum showed that the Early Start Denver Model showed statistically improvement over a control grouop in regard to intellectual development and adaptive behavior. In the second study ,preliminary research showed that a new medication improved behavior associated with Fragile X Syndrome compared to the contorl group.
