In October 2006, the FDA approved the use of Risperdal (risperidone) for the treatment of irritability associated with autistic disorder. This means that it can be used to treat aggression towards self and towards others, temper tantrums, and rapidly changing moods. This is the first drug approved for children (aged 5-16) with autism.
