“…Other neuroleptics whose potential was explored in ASD include olanzapine [NCT00057408, NCT00183404], lurasidone [NCT01911442, NCT01620060, NCT01914393, NCT01731119], brexipiprazole [NCT03292848], and ziprasidone [NCT00208559]. Effects of neuroleptics on ASD-associated irritability and hyperactivity are promising, and though some studies report improvement in the social sphere or in stereotypy [ 271 ], most fail to address core ASD symptoms [ 272 , 273 ]. Their influence on immune abnormalities is probably much more pronounced in in vitro than in vivo conditions, and although MCP-1 was found to be correlated with deficits in social sphere [ 150 ], improper communication [ 174 ], and impaired adaptive skills [ 138 , 174 ], none of the fields were influenced with risperidone treatment.…”
