My son didn't sleep as a youngster any. Drove me pretty much crazy. Do you have any respite abet that can take him overnight once surrounded by a while just so you can catch some rest?

Some children just have need of meds to help them sleep. Especially abundantly of autistic kids. Your son is going to have a tough time next to school if he cannot sleep too.

Melatonin can produce hallucinations and headache in some those, just so you know. I tried it several years ago and hallucinated so inadequately - it was awful.
