Abstract

Otizm spektrum bozukluğu, yaşamın ilk yıllarında ortaya çıkan sosyal, iletişimsel ve bilişsel becerilerin gelişiminde gecikme ve sapma ile karakterize bir bozukluktur. OSB'deki davranışsal problemler için birçok yaklaşım araştırılmış olmasına rağmen, uygunsuz cinsel davranışların (UCD) tedavisine ilişkin araştırmalar hala çok nadirdir. Mirtazapin, son zamanlarda davranışsal müdahalelerle azalmayan UCD için umut verici bir müdahale olmuştur. Bu yazıda, uygunsuz cinsel davranışları olan 14 yaşındaki otistik bir çocukta mirtazapinin dramatik faydasını sunmayı amaçladık.

Inappropriate sexual behaviors and Mirtazapine treatment in Autism Spectrum Disorders: A case report

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by patterns of delay and deviance in the development of social, communicative, and cognitive skills that arise in the first years of life. Although many approaches were investigated for the behavioral problems in ASD, investigations of the treatment of inappropriate sexual behaviors (ISB) were still so rare. Mirtazapine has been a promising intervention for the ISB which do not decrease with behavioral interventions recently. In this case, we aimed to present the dramatic benefit of mirtazapine in a 14-year-old autistic boy with inappropriate sexual behaviors.
