Autism is a clinical syndrome characterized by qualitative impairment of social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication, imaginative activity, and a markedly restricted repertoire of activities and interests. No specific treatment is available that alters the course of the illness. The pharmacological treatments are used for decreasing aggressiveness, obsessive-compulsive behaviors and self-stimulating behaviors. This review showed that risperidone seems to be effective and well tolerated for the treatment of tantrums, aggression, or self-injurious behavior in children with autistic disorder. Risperidone did not significantly change their deficit in social interaction and communication. Further research is necessary to develop effective treatments for the core social and communicative impairments of autism. The encouraging efficacy outcomes achieved with this agent offer new hope for the management of behavioral symptoms exhibited by children with autism.
