Summary
This online article, written in Tamil, summarizes a research review conducted to determine whether aripiprazole, an antipsychotic medication, is an effective treatment for severe behavior problems in people on the autism spectrum. The article concludes that evidence suggests aripiprazole can improve behavior issues in the short term, but side effects such as weight gain and involuntary tremors are possible.

The authors note that more research is needed to determine whether aripiprazole is effective in the long term. The English version notes that one study showed similar long-term relapse rates in the placebo and treatment groups, suggesting that periodic re-evaluation of the medications' effectiveness may be necessary.
