Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid eye movement sleep percentage in children with autism compared with children with developmental delay and typical development.
Ashura W. Buckley,Alcibiades J. Rodriguez,Kaitlin Jennison,Jack Buckley,Audrey Thurm,Susumu Sato,Susan E. Swedo +6 more
TL;DR: A relative deficiency of REM sleep may indicate an abnormality in neural organization in young children with autism that is not directly associated with or related to inherent intellectual disability but may serve as a window into understanding core neurotransmitter abnormalities unique to this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Recommendations were based on evidence, related evidence, principles of care, and inferences that there is currently no evidence to support the routine use of weighted blankets or specialized mattress technology for improving disrupted sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epilepsy and Autism.
TL;DR: Understanding the mechanism by which altered connectivity in individuals with comorbid epilepsy and autistic spectrum disorder results in the behaviors specific to the autistic spectrum Disorder remains a challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI
An open label trial of donepezil for enhancement of rapid eye movement sleep in young children with autism spectrum disorders.
Ashura W. Buckley,Kenneth C. Sassower,Alcibiades J. Rodriguez,Kaitlin Jennison,Katherine Wingert,Jack Buckley,Audrey Thurm,Susumu Sato,Susan E. Swedo +8 more
TL;DR: Donepezil can increase the amount of time that children with an ASD spend in the REM sleep state and a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is needed to assess the association between REM sleep augmentation and learning, cognition, and behavior in such children.
Journal ArticleDOI
A pilot open-label trial of minocycline in patients with autism and regressive features
Carlos A. Pardo,Ashura W. Buckley,Audrey Thurm,Li Ching Lee,Arun Azhagiri,David M. Neville,Susan E. Swedo +6 more
TL;DR: Changes in the pre- and post-treatment profiles of BDNF in CSF and blood, HGF inCSF and CXCL8 (IL-8) in serum, suggest that minocycline may have effects in the CNS by modulating the production of neurotrophic growth factors.
