Abstract
Objective:
To describe our experience of the drug treatment of children within the autistic spectrum.
Development:
We analyze some neuroleptic drugs, the serotonin uptake inhibitors and antiepileptic drugs, emphasizing the most suitable drugs for each symptom we wish to treat and how to do so.
Conclusions:
The treatment of children within the autistic spectrum should be specific, meticulous and well controlled by the neuropaediatrician. It should be changed according to the symptoms and never expected to be the same during the patient s entire life. More studies are needed in this field.
