Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This trial is aimed to test the safety of continuous administration of intranasal oxytocin and to test its efficacy and estimate the effect size for the following future goals: 1) To examine therapeutic effect of continuous administration of intranasal oxytocin on autistic symptoms, 2) To examine cognitive and neural correlates of the therapeutic effect by psychological paradigms and functional MRI, and 3) To identify genetic factors associated with the individual differences in the therapeutic effects.
