| Summary: | A young child was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder with comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. His hyperactivity, impulsivity and absence of awareness towards danger increased his risk of harm and hence methylphenidate was indicated.

In the following illustrated case, we will discuss the cardiac side effect of methylphenidate. |
