My 7-year-old child has autism spectrum disorder and an IQ of around 70. What medications or medical treatments are available to help manage his condition?

Asked by Male, 35 · 2 days ago

Managing autism focuses on supporting your child's development and managing specific symptoms. While there is no cure, therapies and medications can greatly improve daily life. Non-medical treatments like behavioral (ABA), speech, and occupational therapies are key. For specific symptoms, a pediatrician may prescribe medications: risperidone or aripiprazole for irritability and aggression; methylphenidate or guanfacine for hyperactivity and focus; or SSRIs like fluoxetine for anxiety and repetitive behaviors. Every child is unique, so please consult a pediatric specialist or child psychiatrist to create a safe, tailored treatment plan for your son.
