Autism is a challenging disorder. Efforts for an effective treatment is still ongoing.
Although numerous research on Autism has been conducted, there has been a general lack of means to measure treatment efficacy. Some of the most promising results have been seen with risperidone. However, further studies are required to determine the long term benefits, and asses the potential risks.
