I lived with a guy who I think was Autistic (not really an Aspie) and took Abilify. Wondering if anyone here takes Abilify or Risperdal for irritibility. I know many take SSRIs

They're overkill for irritability. Overkill for most things really. Unless the risk of diabetes, lowering the seizure threshold, and permanent motor side-effects is better than whatever you're dealing with.

Only the OP can say what they meant by "overkill". But as I read it, I'd say overkill was used in the sense of: using a tactical nuclear weapon to wipe out a wasp's nest is clearly overkill.
