Parent Medical Guide
 Finished by a group of professionals of  American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. People with ASD often experience a host of difficulties that can be as problematic as the symptoms of ASD itself. Anxiety, mood instability, impulsive, hyperactivity, sleep problems, and even aggression and self-injurious behavior can occur in some people.
