Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antipsychotics have been approved to treat behavioral problems such as aggression, irritability, and self-injurious behavior in autistic children. The two antipsychotics that have been approved by the FDA for this purpose are risperidone and aripiprazole. The other options (antidepressants, antimanics, and anxiolytics) have not been approved for this specific use and may not be effective or safe for treating behavioral problems in autistic children.
