- Abstract
It is suggested that frequency of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders is high in cases with Asperger disorder (AD) and in their families. On the other hand, information regarding management of schizophrenia in cases with AD is limited. In this paper, a 15-year-old adolescent case with AD and comorbid schizophrenia, is reported. His psychotic symptoms did not respond to quetiapine, risperidone, and pimozide, respectively. Then, clozapine was commenced and the patient began to improve at the fourth month of the clozapine treatment. In context of the reported case, challenges during the treatment process in cases with AD plus schizophrenia and possible familial influences on schizophrenia development in such cases are discussed.
