Ah, I knew nothing about it. I just know that as a kid/teen I really didn't have much if any say then about what was going on. I just took medications which were insisted by the school. My parents disagreed with the meds as I got older and was in high school. My parents made me stop taking any medication for autism, and I did just fine in school. Every person is different, but the meds given to me just caused issues.
