Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic approved by the FDA for treating irritability in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It helps manage symptoms such as aggression, tantrums, mood swings, and self-injurious behavior, which can make it easier for children to participate in educational and behavioral therapies.
Compared to some other antipsychotics, aripiprazole tends to cause less weight gain and sedation, though common side effects include restlessness (akathisia), insomnia, and gastrointestinal upset
