I have been on Chlorpromazine 15 months and I dont think I have Aspergers anymore, I was diagnosed with aspergers in 2007, I think I have psychotic anxiety which is treatable and I never had Aspergers in the first place, I also have read about people who have got better on Risperidone.

Get a second opinion about your diagnosis if you don't think it's correct. When I was 14 I was on Risperdal because the doctor thought that one of my AS obsessions was psychosis, so I don't think that prescription had anything to do with my AS at all.

I'm not sure if I have Aspergers, but I know I have Bipolar Disorder and take Geodon for that. It doesn't help for any of
my other symptoms which pretty much resemble Aspergers.

If you believed you never had autism, why is the title "antipyschotics and autism"?

That's what I was pondering..
