This paper reviews the different drug therapies for autism.
For example, antipsychotics have been used as an autism treatment to decrease aggression and help with impulse control. Lithium has been shown to help with mood in adults with autism and manic problems. Propranolol (a beta blocker drug) has been shown to help severe aggression. Clonidine may help with hyperactivity and irritability in patients with autism. The authors conclude by stating that drug therapy should only be used to help with behavior and treat certain symptoms that are common in people with autism.
