| Parents med guide
The American Psychiatric Association and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry have developed two medication guides - the most recent, ADHD Parents Medication Guide, and The Use of Medication in Treating Childhood and Adolescent Depression: Information for Patients and Families.
These guides are designed to help patients, families, and physicians
make informed decisions about obtaining and administering the most
appropriate care for a child with ADHD or depression.
Hopefully they'll eventually publish a guide to medication for kids with autism, but since many kids/teens with autism also have ADHD or develop a depression, I thought I'd post the link.

Thank you!
Here's another one for ADHD, "Responsible Rx Parent Starter Kit"
