What is an atypical (newer) antipsychotic approved for treating
irritability associated with autism disorder in children?

Atypical antipsychotics (Risperdal® & Abilify®) can help improve
symptoms such as aggression toward other people, deliberate
self-harm, temper tantrums, & abruptly changing moods.

NOTE: Neither medication can cure autism but can help with some behavior problems.
