Hi My Child Is 5 Years Now. He Is Diagnosed

hi my child is 5 years now. he is diagnosed with ADD but also has mild symptoms of autism, which is staying in his own world,delayed speech and repeatation of words. His IQ is 111. he is very good at NON-VERBAL school activities and actually one of the top students at his class. But i wonder if this will stay as he grows. He is not aggressive but when he gets very angry (rarely) he does have some tendencies to get aggressive. Recently a psychiatrist recommended him Risperidone 0.5mg for his verbal improvement and getting him out from his imaginary world.
I read all pros and cons but as a father im skeptical if I should start it at all.
