Acceptance Requires Pharmacological Research

Every year the FDA approves about 50 new drugs to treat everything from weight management to wrinkles and cancer to covid. Plus countless “new uses” for existing drugs.

But the last time the FDA a medication for Autism was 2009. About 800 new drugs have been approved since then, but zero - count them — with an approved use to help individuals with autism.

Now not everyone with autism needs or wants medical intervention. Fact is, however, 27% of people with autism have severe autism — often with emotional dysregulation and other complications that require 24/7 hands on support. There is a lot of suffering in our community and acceptance means looking for solutions that help our severe autism community.

Over 800 new drugs approved since 2009. Zero for autism.
