Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As Risperidone is problematic, your child can be tried on other low dose anti psychotics, especially in the night as sedation will not be a problem in the day by which his aggression can be controlled.

Joining him in special school benefits him a lot...he learns quickly when joined in special schools...

Feel free to ask further questions.
