Title
Risperidone Use in Children with Autism Carries Heavy Risks
Author
Emily Anthes
Summary
This online article describes research suggesting that the antipsychotic drug risperidone, which can be used to treat aggressive and self-injurious behavior in autism, is associated with serious side effects. It suggests that the medication should only be used for children with the most serious symptoms after other interventions have failed.
