CHIEF COMPLAINT
Autism Spectrum Disorder
COMMENTS TO SPECIALIST
A 12-year-old with autism is taking Risperidone 0.25 mg 3x per day with increased aggressive behaviors and elevated prolactin. Sending him to psychiatry locally, but I will provide care in the interim—likely for months.
I note some allergy symptoms, which are being treated with loratadine and a nasal spray in case discomfort is causing his increased symptoms. However, increased aggression predated the allergy symptoms.
Attached are my visit notes and the only behavioral health notes in his chart, which were from 3 years ago. Recent labs are attached as well.
MAIN QUESTION
Is there anything I could do to address this? For family education, what might be the cause?

Leverage Virtual Care and Telehealth to Improve Patient Care
Presenter: Cindy Craddock, RN Manger of Referral Nurse Navigators at AristaMD
To improve patient care and grow practice revenue, knowing why, when, and which patient referrals can be handled by an eConsult is critical. Provider-to-specialist consults are available in more than 70 specialties – from allergists to urologists and everything in between. Often, you and your referral coordinators aren’t familiar with the breadth of care that eConsults can provide, which delays patient care, damages practice quality metrics, and diminishes the number of services the practice can offer.
