Asperger Syndrome Medications

No specific medications are used to treat Asperger syndrome itself. However, medications may be used to treat specific behavioral symptoms associated with Asperger syndrome, especially when they cause the individual distress or significantly interfere with educational or social functioning. These behavioral symptoms may include anxiety, attention problems, aggression, behavioral rigidity, mood disorders (particularly depression), and stereotypy (constant repetition of certain meaningless gestures or movement) or perseveration (constant repetition of meaningless words or phrases).
