“Are there any medications for autism?”

Hi, creative and somatic therapies can be incredibly effective for working with neurodivergence. That being said, it can be crucial to find a provider who is neurodivergent affirming and understands how to work with Autism (this is one of my areas of specialty). The length of treatment depends on your unique goals and needs. If your daughter is located in the United States then you can search for a provider who is licensed in your state. If you are within California - I have availability to accept new clients - please visit www.sylvansart.com for more information and to contact me directly.

Greetings,

There are no medications for autism; however, there are some medications to help with specific symptoms of autism. I hope this helps.

yes - see a psychiatrist for discussing them

Currently, there is no medication that can cure autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or all of its symptoms. But some medications can help treat certain symptoms associated with ASD, especially certain behaviors however Risperidone (Risperdal) is the only drug approved by the FDA for children with an autism spectrum disorder. It can be prescribed for children between 5 and 16 years old to help with irritability.
