Summary
This online article from Raising Children Network's Parent Guide to ASD Therapies describes and evaluates the use of stimulant medications. These medications are intended to improve problems with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, and they are often prescribed to treat ADHD.
Stimulants can be prescribed to manage hyperactivity and inattention in children with autism as well, although the article indicates that it has yet to be rated as an autism intervention.
Raising Children Network is an information resource maintained by a partnership of agencies in Australia. Its website offers “evidence-based content you can trust on hundreds of topics about raising children and looking after yourself as a parent.” [Website]
