A member asked:

What is the best drug for aggression in asd & adhd that carries the least amount of side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The 1(s) that work: Every kid is a unique blend of genetics that makes treating ASD/ADHD a difficult process. The simple ones respond to Ritalin based drugs while the complex cases often take months/years to find a good fit. One or more medications along with talk therapy often help.
