In our webinar, Psychopharmacology and ASD, we focused on evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of ASD, emphasizing behavioral, environmental, educational, parental, and psychopharmacological strategies. Research has shown year after year that the combination of strategies using a team approach has been the most effective in reaching positive treatment outcomes. We also discussed and dispel myths surrounding ASD and discuss the negative outcomes if a child is left untreated. We also explore how ASD is often diagnosed along with other disorders, including learning disabilities and developmental delays, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, Obsessive-Compulsive disorders, intermittent explosive outbursts, and depression.
