prednisone and Autism

prednisone has been researched along with Autism in 2 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

" Fever is a complex interplay of immune, metabolic, and stress responses, yet its benefit in autistic disorders (ASD) may derive largely from a single response - release of the amino acid glutamine from skeletal muscles as provisional fuel."7.79Does infectious fever relieve autistic behavior by releasing glutamine from skeletal muscles as provisional fuel? ( Good, P, 2013)

"We propose that autism may be part of the autoimmune disease spectrum of ALPS in this child, and this case represents a novel manifestation and target organ involvement in this disease."1.31Response to steroid therapy in autism secondary to autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome.
