Despite this, little is known about parents’ experiences managing and monitoring their child’s medication treatment, or their experience interacting with prescribing health care providers. To learn more about parents’ perspectives on psychotropic medication use in their adolescent or young adult with ASD, a focus group was conducted with seven mothers whose adolescent or adult child with ASD was prescribed one or more psychotropic medications. Results are summarized according to emergent themes including parent perception of child experience with medication, side effects, medication efficacy, medication monitoring, expertise issues, and service issues. Parents also provided medication recommendations, including a desire for health care providers with greater expertise in ASD, information on medication, and tools for medication monitoring.
