Medication

My child is 10 and on the asd pathway, he becomes quite upset and angry quite quickly, he gets aggressive both in his tone of voice amd body language. Will medication help with this? Medication wouldn't be my first choice but it is starting to become quite disruptive to family life.

Apologies if this message sounds silly, I'm new to all this so not sure which way to go.

Thanks

I think that's definitely a conversation to have with a medical professional. In an adult (in my case) it's usually something like a SSRI or maybe an antipsychotic to help with mood stabilisation. Some sort of OT might be helpful?
