However, prior studies on peripheral OXT levels in individuals with ASD have yielded inconsistent results, partly due to methodological and developmental variability. This study aimed to compare baseline salivary OXT concentrations between children with ASD and typically developing controls. Methods In this cross-sectional, case–control study, salivary OXT levels were measured in 35 children aged 6–9 years (18 with ASD, 17 controls) using a standardized ELISA protocol. Samples were collected under controlled conditions and analyzed in duplicate. Between-group differences in raw and log-transformed OXT levels were examined using t-tests.
