Is my GP correct? Can I challenge this?
I have a diagnosis of high-functioning asperger's but that's all. I don't need appointments with psychiatry to keep trying to get me to take medication. There's actually an anti-psychotic called Risperidone which is actually approved for "irritability caused by autism". No joke.
A new paper has been published. “In the UK, risperidone is the only psychotropic medication approved for the management of the behavioural symptoms that may accompany autism.”
