I have 2 Autistic sons who are both extremely active and can be aggressive.
We (my husband and I) took them to Hershey Medical Center in Pennsylvania to Doctor Ramer who specializes in treating children with Autism. We have seen a lot of terrific improvement with the therapies we have begun.
It takes some time to narrow down what therapies (medications) work, but some commonly used meds by perscription are Luvox, Risperdal, Prozac, etc. But these should be used only strict guidance by a trained medical professional.
My son currently uses Luvox and Risperdal and has had major management improvement.
they put my brother on ritalin and than when got older they up the dosage he used to bite him self but his head through windows and beat up his baby sister.
