In the correct dose ivermectin has few if any side effects, at least compared to over the counter medicines like aspirin. the problem here is using poorly dosed veterinary forms, that aren't meant for internal use.<p>I feel like on the principle of harm reduction we should just let these people try it, in the correct, safe, form/dose with medical supervision.<p>As an aside, ivermectin is a GlyR agonist, so it seems at least scientifically plausible it could do something for some people with autism. But I'm not a doctor, just an autist with a special interest in psychopharmacology.
