The lead section feels a little too overwhelmingly long. Perhaps much of this should be moved to an "Overview" section instead? ZaidhaanH ( talk) 18:44, 23 January 2022 (UTC) reply

There was lots of duplicated, poorly-sourced material in the lead. I removed the passages that repeated information already provided in the restof the lead. CatPath ^{meow at me} 01:16, 25 January 2022 (UTC) reply

That's definitely helped, cheers! ZaidhaanH ( talk) 17:22, 26 January 2022 (UTC) reply

It's an unstructured mess indeed.. why do these course assignments repetitively target some pages and why are they more important than Wikipedia's quality? 2A02:2788:11C8:31D:CF14:60CB:3E9B:FBD3 ( talk) 16:47, 19 August 2022 (UTC) reply

The article could benefit from additional information about the effectiveness of medications. While the article mentions medications are used to treat symptoms of ASD, it does not provide much detail about what type and how effective they are in doing so. Adding information about the effectiveness of these medications would help readers better understand the benefits and limitations of using medication as a treatment option for ASD. Also, providing more context about the potential risks and side effects of these medications. The article does not provide a comprehensive overview of the risks associated with medications. Providing more information about the risks and side effects of medications would help readers make more informed decisions about whether or not to use them as a treatment option.

Some antipsychotic medications, including risperidone and aripripazole, have FDA approval for the treatment of ASD-related irritability in children between specific ages. 2 Parents should discuss any drugs for children with ASD with their child's medical professionals. Although there are other medications that can help with autism symptoms, the FDA has not given them approval for this particular use. Some of the prescription drugs on this list are not permitted for use by people under the age of 18. For more information on the drugs mentioned below, please visit the FDA.
