Terry Report post Posted January 30, 2011 Hello, I'm new here. I found this forum while searching for autism related sites. I am 26 years old and was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when I was about two. I am living with my guardian still but am trying to get my independence.

jenniferlegge Report post Posted February 14, 2013 Hi my son has asd we have been given melatonin to help him sleep but not advice on how to give can anyone help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matzoball Report post Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) None of us are medical professionals here, and we're not qualified to give medical advice. However melatonin isn't really good for children as they already produce it naturally. Bedtime routines are always a good way to promote sleep. No tv or technology in the bedroom, a bath at a certain time. Lots of activity during the day to wear them out - things like that. There are a lot of parents on here with similar issues, I'm sure they will have lots of tips and advice to give!
