Asking for a friend. Her son is on the spectrum and they visited a psychiatrist today. He wants to put her son on Abilify. Does anyone have any experience with this med., and what was it prescribed for in your case? Has it helped? Her son is 9 years old. He's had some recent outbursts at school (physical fights) and has also tried to run away from school a few times. He will yell/swear at the teacher/administrator. He has his own aide in the classroom. Thanks.
