Medications should only be prescribed by trained certified doctors, usually a psychiatrist or paediatrician who is involved in autism care. Medication is often used together with non-pharmacological intervention to provide holistic care in managing the symptoms and difficulties of the autistic individuals. Medication does not replace psychological intervention or behavioural management. For instance, medication may alleviate hyperactive and disruptive problems that may inhibit or prevent learning in schools. However, some medicines can help alleviate other conditions that may be more common in autistic individuals.
