In order to evaluate the possible abnormality in monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in early infantile autism, blood platelet samples were obtained from 20 autistic children, aged 2--12 years. MAO activity, measured fluorometrically using serotonin as substrate, was 5.24 +/- 1.65 (Mean +/- Standard Deviation) nM/MG protein/hour in these autistic children. This value was not significantly different from either that in 30 age-matched normal children or that in 39 nonautistic children with various psychiatric and neurological disorders, although autistic children had higher platelet serotonin concentration than these nonautistic individuals.
