Pediatrician, Neurology 's  Response
ASD problems are never gone and and proper diagnostic tools are available to screen autism spectrum at various stages to encourage proper rehabilitation. Drugs given here to your child seems to help only for hyperactivity and I am not sure why epilium was given as it is used in fits only, I strongly recommend to see child psychiatrist and neuro developmental specialist and in CMC, Vellore or Bangalore (NIMHANS) has dedicated centers for such problems.
