If your child has had a history of Autism-related problems in life, what is it like for his/her mental health?this children need alot of attention from their love ones.they will be treated different if they act different.not all children need to be put on something to make them feel normal.most of the time the side effects are worst than the problem at hand.but if it gets to the point that you can no longer handle your child than yes i would see a doctor.if they give your child anything check the side effects first.
