In this video, Kelsey General and I discuss questions about medication and autism.
There is no drug or medication specifically labeled to treat autism. However, there are many medications frequently used with patients with autism that treat common symptoms that come with autism. If you have a new diagnosis, medication should not be the first step.

Medication can be used as a part of a treatment package, along with ABA therapy, behavioral plans, ruling out other health issues, and taking calendar data to track your child’s behavior and symptoms.

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents. Whether you’re looking for autism parenting strategies, working with developmental delays in children, or in search of autism help for professionals, I can encourage you to subscribe to the channel and join me on my journey. I’ll be providing weekly autism resources that you don’t want to miss.
