Description: This week's podcast summarizes recent evidence on why there is good and bad in treating autism with medication, but there is also lots of ugly.  While new medications are being developed and researchers are looking into new ways of measuring change across time time, medications are not effective in treating the core symptoms of autism and they have pretty harsh side effects which, you guessed it, are dealt with by prescribing more medications.  There are a lot of reasons to be hopeful about the future of medication use in autism, but lots of reasons to feel frustrated too.   Here are some of the articles that were cited: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23101743 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25885012 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5520775/
