  • Abilify and Risperdone are the only medications I believe that have been tested on autistic people. You may want to do some research on that as there is research out there. I have been prescribed Risperdone in the past to help me with my repetitive thinking so helping me with my autism. I experienced side effects though and now on Seroquel which I am though trying to stop as I had side effects as well and just want to come off those medications now.  I was on a low dose 50mg and had dsykenia movements so that encouraged me to come of it and I just wanted to try being myself again.

    There was a time though it probably really helped me through a difficult timem but now I would like to come of it.
