Abstract:  Autism is a complex disorder that affects children. Children who present with symptoms of autism require a comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team including a psychologist, neurologist, psychiatrist, speech therapist, and other professionals who diagnose children with autism spectrum disorders. Following the diagnosis, a treatment plan is developed, which in most cases involve educational and behavioral interventions and medications. The multidisciplinary team then expands to a team of professionals to treat the disorder, the team of which includes a pharmacist. Anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, behavioral problems, seizures, impulsivity, and hyperactivity are the main symptoms of autism that have in many cases been successfully minimized and in some cases alleviated by proper medication.
