There is no cure for autism spectrum disorder, and there's currently no medication to treat it. But some medicines can help with related symptoms like depression, seizures, insomnia, and trouble focusing.
Studies have shown that medication is most effective when it's combined with behavioral therapies.
The most effective treatments available today are applied behavioral analysis (ABA), occupational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, and pharmacological therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
