Core Tip	Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by impaired communication, altered social skills, stereotypical behaviors and limited interests. The pathophysiological bases of autism have not been defined yet. Several publications have pointed a possible connection between autism and carnitine deficiency. Carnitine is a cofactor for a large family of enzymes: the carnitine acyl transferases. Through their action these enzymes are involved in energy production and metabolic homeostasis. Low plasma carnitine were reported in autism patients and for some of them, defects in L-carnitine metabolism have been reported. This review summarizes the available information on the possible link between autism and carnitine.
