In reply to Risperdal ODT approved for aggression in autism, posted by ed_uk on October 9, 2006, at 14:21:11

I know sometiems meds help autistic kids, but come one...antipsychotics? Risperdal (the roughest of the "atypicals") in particular? In **children** ??? It seems to me that giving at autistic kid a neuroleptic does more for the caretaker than for the kid...aren't there other med options for autistic kids, like anticonvulsants? can they use benzos? I mean, by all means--help the kids stop self-injury, etc. But..neuroleptics??? That's like punishing the kids for being different.
