Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder. Over the past decades, much research has been conducted to elucidate a single etiological factor and effective pharmacotherapuetics to address the core symptom domains of ASD with limited success. Research has changed focus from behavioral observations of ASD to translating findings from animal models, genomic manipulation studies and basic science studies to pharmacological agents with the aim to lessen or reverse core symptoms of ASD. This paper evaluates potential models for translating information from the biology of ASD to pharmacological treatments.
