[QUOTE="buddy, post: 524339, member: 12886"] I think sometimes the confusion is that professionals, articles, and others tell parents, there are no medications to cure autism or fix autism. But like many disorders and even many illnesses, there are medications that can offer relief for symptoms. When symptoms can be supported and for some even eliminated, then the real work can begin to work on the social and communication/language, and sensory issues which are often the biggest issues for people with autism. If a child is very high functioning then they may not even really show deficits much if the symptoms that can be helped by medication are controlled. Of course this is very individual. For some people medications do help. For others they do not, and sadly for others they make things worse. [/QUOTE]
