Teens with autism spectrum disorder often exhibit sexual behaviors in public that are disturbing to parents, teachers, and peers. Some have proposed that such behaviors can be curtailed with hormonal suppression. There is information on the Internet suggesting that such medications work, and some reports in the peer-reviewed medical literature support these claims. Such medications can have serious side effects. In this paper, we present a case in which parents requested such treatment of their teenage son with autism spectrum disorder.
患有自闭症谱系障碍的青少年常常在公共场合表现出令父母、教师和同龄人感到不安的性行为。一些人提出，此类行为可以通过激素抑制来减少。互联网上有信息表明此类药物有效，同行评议的医学文献中的一些报告也支持这些说法。此类药物可能会有严重的副作用。在本文中，我们介绍了一个案例，一对父母要求对他们患有自闭症谱系障碍的十几岁儿子进行此类治疗。
