Can I Give Valparin 200 Syrup For My Son Who Is Suffering From Autism?

My son is 5 years now. He has been diagnosed for Autism. The doctor also said that he has some convulsions in the brain. Therefore, he has been given Valparin 200 syrup.

Some doctors advised against giving valparin 200 as, they believe, that this medicine is given only i cases of seizures.

Therefore, please advise whether valparin 200 syrup is advisable for my son?
