autistic disorder treatment

• No medication is available to treat autistic disorder. Researchers are studying
the use of medication to control mood swings and outbursts.
• Family counseling: Helps the family cope with the child’s behaviors.
• Residential placement: If the child’s behavior cannot be managed by the
family, then the child can be placed in a group home or other facility
where trained staff care for the child 24/7.
• Education: Special education programs are available to help the child modify
their behavior. A preferred approach is to mainstream the child by placing
the child in a regular classroom and providing the child assistance to
cope with interacting with the classroom environment. Key to the mainstream
approach is the child’s capability to be in a classroom setting.
