This trial studies whether N-acetylcysteine, a medicine taken by mouth, can improve autism-related restricted and repetitive behaviors in children. It looks at children who are showing at least moderate severity in these behaviors and may involve brain testing for safety reasons.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a single dose of N-acetylcysteine can improve “restricted and repetitive behaviors” in children with autism. It’s meant for kids who are stable and still in early puberty stages.
This Phase 2 study tests whether leucovorin (a vitamin-related medicine) can improve social communication and language in young children with autism. It also looks at safety and whether the results hold while the child stays on their usual therapies and routines.
This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement (a mix of good bacteria) can help reduce autism symptoms in children. It lasts 3 months and involves filling out questionnaires about your child's behavior at the start and end of the trial.
