Abstract: In his original analysis in 1944 Hans Asperger [1] described four cases of Fritz, Ernst, Harro and Hellmuth. In some of the cases hints can be found that an involvement of Hypothalamus-Pituitary system respectively steroid hormones is present in line with newer findings of involvement of steroid hormones in autistic disorders. However, despite hints from different side awareness of the potential involvement of the endocrine system seems to be generally sparse. Some recent studies elucidated some aspects of the endocrine system and its involvement in autistic disorders, whereby when combining this new evidence labor tests based on steroid hormones might be a valid opportunity to support the clinician in finding the proper diagnosis.
