Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Strattera is a brand name of the drug Atemoxetine and is quite effective autistic disorders. Intuniv is guafencine and is effective for ADHD(attention deficit hyperactivity) but not as much effective for tics. So you can not substitute strattera with intuniv.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
