Inositol, though often referred to as vitamin B8, is actually a naturally-occurring glucose isomer vs. a vitamin. It is easily obtained online or at vitamin stores and from all that I've read (which is a lot), it is perfectly safe.
If you read-up on it, I think you will find it to be a viable option for your son. All best.

I would start with a baseline to see what is missing or not there or not supposed to be there.
1. Check his hormones with a comprehensive male profile I at ZRT Labs.
2. Get complete blood work done to check for vitamin deficiencies, allergies, etc. I am from Canada so we can have it done for free. You may have to pay for yours on your own.
3. Comprehensive stool analysis at Great Plains Laboratory which will eliminate some nasty issues like parasites.
I tried to send you the links but the site won't allow me to.
Instead of flying blind you need to determine what is lacking &/or should not be there so initially it will cost more but the end result will be more accurate with the least intrusion on your poor boy. I cannot imagine having to live in his poor little head.
I hope this is of help?
