"Based on the present findings, we cannot recommend continuous intranasal oxytocin treatment alone at the current dose and duration for treatment of the core social symptoms of high-functioning ASD in adult men, although this large-scale trial suggests oxytocin’s possibility to treat ASD repetitive behavior."

This comment ([1]) suggests that oxytocin spray is best used on autistic children, and adults are better off with transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Well this study would appear to disagree with that, given that oxytoxin treatment was a failure.

This study on adults failed. The person you were replying to suggested that oxytocin might be more effective on children, and that TMS instead might be more effective for adults.

Did anyone else read scan the article and initially think it was saying Oxycontin spray instead of Oxytocin spray?
