To say that MOST parents of autistic children will not put their kids on drugs is a gross and irresponsible overstatement. There are no drugs specifically for autism because researchers haven’t established the cause(s) of autism conclusively. I’ve tried the DAN approach to no avail. It works for some but not all. If there were a focused and effective drug therapy, I would put my son on it in a moment.

Keep your drugs away from my kid…
you know what helps my autistic child?
Avoiding medication, taking supplements, and eating good, organic food… avoiding milk and wheat.

Does the trick.
And parents know this, and most parents (of autistic kids) won’t put their kids on meds.
And drug companies cannot patent that… AKA: there is no money in it.
AND THAT IS WHY there are no drugs to treat autism.
