What is ldn for autism mean? is that the same as naltrexone for heroin addicts?

Never use abbreviations in medical communications. Does LDN mean Long delayed Neutron or Long Days Night or what? They can be deadly, as they may mean different things to different people. Even if different parts of US. Please resubmit the question.
