Medication is often used to deal with a specific behavior, like reducing self-injurious behavior or aggression, which may allow the person with autism to focus on other things, like learning. (references)

Individuals with mental retardation and/or severe behavioral disturbances of undetermined etiology, such as hyperactivity, aggression, self-injurious behavior, and pica, should be screened for PKU regardless of the individual's age. Individuals with mental retardation due to PKU who are experiencing severe behavioral disturbances should be considered for dietary treatment lasting for at least 6 months, because metabolic control has been reported to improve behavior in such patients.
