[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 484346, member: 1550"] Hi and welcome. This is just me and it is in hindsight. Before I'd give my child any serious medication like Abilify (and I did do this at one time) I'd get a neuropsychologist evaluation to see if he/she matches up with your psychiatrist. It's always good to get a second opinion before you start giving medications to your child. My son was on very serious medication for three years for early onset bipolar. He didn't have it. He is on the autism spectrum and is not on medications anymore (and is doing really well too). Hereafter I swore I would never take or give out any psychiatric medication to anyone in my care without a second opinion and possibly a third. No medication will wipe out the tantrums completely anyway. You also need interventions, which they can provide at school. I wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
