Points to consider:

• ASD is defined by two core symptoms: (a) the presence of repetitive behaviors and/or restricted interests, and (b) a deficit in social communication.
• A deficit in social interaction has been the defining feature of the concept of ASD from its conception.
• Abnormalities can be identified in early social-skill development.
• There are abnormalities in brain circuits associated with the social function deficit.
• Agents such as oxytocin and propranolol are undergoing investigation to improve social deficits in ASD.
• Other agents such as vasopressin agonists and antagonists are being investigated as well, but have limited published evidence at this time.
• Manipulation of the enteric microbiome using microbiota transfer therapy appear to have promising effects on core ASD symptoms, including social function.
