Patients with autism may have various problems like hyperactivity, impulsiveness, attention problems, irritability, mood swings, outbursts, tantrums, aggression, extreme compulsions that the child finds it impossible to suppress, sleep difficulties, anxiety and seizures. All the medicines that your son takes are used for treating some of the problems mentioned above. Abilify (aripiprazole) is antipsychotic medicine used for treating schizophrenia and mania.
