  1. I take melatonin too. Very good this helps your daughter since any Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) implies a sleep "difference;" in fact, I can actually forget to sleep. One caveat with melatonin: It acts upon the neurotransmitter GABA; a side-effect can be nightmares. If this does begin to occur with your daughter, likely melatonin is factor. I've definitely noticed I recall my dreams, in detail, with melatonin. I know a sleep routine and schedule are optimal if nightmares are problematic.
  2. Thank you all - So much to learn yet & Glasgow is lovely (& plenty much warmer than Alaska). As Mumble wrote, PhD programme is time-consuming...sigh. But so worth it. Although I am shy & academically oriented, I will try to met others locally. Everyone here is really nice. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum is a favourite of mine already; I love that I can practically anywhere Now, I'll need to check out this forum a bit more (it's Sunday night, afterall). Have a good week, everyone, and stay busy. And warm, Jota .
  3. Thank you for your welcome. Correct in that Alaska is distinct, but this is a happy move - I love my programme and this opportunity would not have been possible where I am from. I love the UK and I've been here before, plus I have familial heritage in Europe. Ice hockey....I'm not much of a sports fan, but hockey is cool. Alaska and Canada are tops in hockey, as you might imagine. In Glasgow, football is so popular - I guess I'll need to read the news to catch-up! Oh, the UK National Autistic Society (NAS) visits the University of Glasgow at least weekly and they are wonderful - great resource. I'll try to not be so shy.
  4. Good to meet you all - from Glasgow. Specifically, the University of Glasgow where my PhD programme is situated. My official start date is 23/09 (neuroscience). Autumn is my favourite season; I am settling in quite well. I am very shy and do not yet no anyone, except those in my laboratory/science dept. - they are great! Although I'll not have much free time to post on this forum, I thought to register and greet other ASD individuals. (My Dx is Asperger's Syndrome). Originally I am from Alaska (the Interior) so I do not know others yet. I am analytically minded but, at the same time, a very sensitive and shy/quiet Aspie. I may know some of you already; I served as moderator of the Wrong Planet forum online - due to academic obligations I am no longer an active moderator. I appreciate this forum as it's local ASD individuals and I like your posts and interests.
