Psychotropic Medications in Autism: Practical Considerations for Parents

Auteurs: Edwin D. Williamson, Andres Martin

Gepubliceerd in: Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders | Uitgave 6/2012

Abstract

Medications are widely prescribed in children with autism spectrum disorders. Most commonly these medications are used to decrease symptoms that fall under three main clusters: irritability, ADHD-like symptoms, and repetitive behaviors. In this guide we introduce basic approaches to medications in children with autism and review the scientific evidence in each symptom cluster.
