www.oxytocincentral.com People with autism have issues with non-verbal communication, a wide range of social interactions, and repetitive behaviors. Oxytocin is a hormone produced naturally in the body, and plays a role in a variety of behaviors, including parent-child and adult-to-adult pair bonding, social memory, social cognition, and repetitive behaviors. Some investigators have also found that oxytocin levels are depressed in autistic individuals. Research has shown improvement in repetitive behaviors, the ability to read emotion in others' faces, and bonding for autistic individuals using an oxytocin supplement. Oxytocin supplements can be obtained in a liquid or nasal spray form.
