Abstract
Risperidone is commonly prescribed by pediatricians for a variety of behavioral and psychological disorders. We report a boy with autism-spectrum disorder, who developed frequent penile erections after an increase in risperidone dosage for a month. The patient fully recovered 2 days after risperidone discontinuation. This report concerns the youngest case of psychotropic medication-induced sexual disorders, which illustrates the differences in presentation between children and adults. Moreover, this case can serve as evidence that discontinuation should be recommended for the management of drug-induced sexual disorders.
