pharmacological therapy is a real help?

Hello everyone. I am the father of a 21-year-old autistic young man with medium-high functioning. Many of his peers take drugs mainly as mood stabilizers. I have many doubts about the advisability of administering these drugs to my son even if he sometimes shows strong stereotypies and prolonged echolalia. I would really like to know if there are many or few young autistic adults taking drugs and what you think about it.

    I'd say unless its prescribed by somebody professional your son should avoid it. People with AS can have quite a strong reaction to drugs, particularly recreational drugs I'd say avoid at all costs unless advised otherwise by a specialist in ASD
