My son has mild to moderate autism, he recieves occupational, speech and behavioural intervention, we have never has to use meds with him, the intervention therapies alone have made a huge difference to my son's life.
It is at all possible you could get a referal from your son's doctor for intervention therapy?

I believe that just medication alone is not regarded as helpful as a combination of medication and behavioral therapy.
