Abstract
Background: Autistic disorders which have been increasingly known as pervasive developmental disorders since the 1980s represent a heterogeneous group of disorders that share a significant impairment in communication and social interaction. Typical autism is not associated with significant mental retardation while patients having classical autism which is also called Kanner syndrome have normal or high intelligence. Patients and methods: The mother of an eight-year-old girl from Tunisia consulted us about the possible therapies for her daughter who was thought to have autistic features. Results: The girl had the two major diagnostic features autistic as she was not responding appropriately to her name by turning her toward the voice and she had poor eye contact. The girl can count from 1 to one thousand and knows the letters of Arabic, French, and English language. She knows the colors and some other vocabulary. The girl was hyperactive and spending some time in moving purposely inside the home. Based on our extensive published experiences with treatment of autistic disorders, we recommended an initial therapeutic course which included a course of intramuscular cerebrolysin. Conclusion: An expert therapeutic recommendation for the condition is described.
