Improves Symptoms of Autism

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a wide range of medical conditions that affects social interaction, behavior, speech and nonverbal communication. Since cerebrolysin has the capacity to enhance a number of cognitive functions, this nootropic drug has also been studied for its beneficial effect on autism:
1. In patients with childhood autism and Asperger’s syndrome (one of the autism spectrum disorders), cerebrolysin therapy improves various areas of cognitive function (expressive and receptive speech, fine motoring, and playing). [23]
2. In children with autism, cerebrolysin therapy improves symptoms and scores in the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). [24]
3. In a rat model of autism, cerebrolysin therapy improves behavior and brain cell communication. [25]
