There is no medication to cure Asperger's Syndrome, although there are medications that can help with some of the effects of Asperger's Syndrome. It will depend on the person and the effects of Asperger's Syndrome on that person. Some people do not need medication for Asperger's Syndrome (or very rarely).
A person with Asperger's Syndrome might have a prescription for lorazepam to help when subjected to stressful situations. A person with Asperger's Syndrome might become depressed because of effects of the condition, so he or she might take anti-depressants. There are other conditions that are often co-morbid with Asperger's Syndrome, such as ADHD, so the person might be on medications for that, as well.

∙ 8y agoA person with Asperger Syndrome (now merged with Autism) doesn't necessarily need any sort of medication, and there is no medication to treat Autism specifically because it can effect people in many different ways. Treatment for Autism is very limited and most focuses on changing Autistic behaviour so Autistic people can fit in with Neurotypical people.
The only real medications to treat some Autistic symptoms would be the likes of antidepressants to treat anxiety associated with Autism, ADHD meds can sometimes be used for executive dysfunction issues, or melatonin to treat sleeping problems associated with Autism.
