[QUOTE="nvts, post: 398792, member: 3814"] Hey! Just a thought...have you tried melatonin? Two of mine got sort of hyper if I used benadryl too close together (like 2 days in a row...if I skipped a day, it would help them sleep). Melatonin (it's in the vitamin aisle) really seems to do the trick. Ask the neurologist if he thinks it might help! Weighing in on the weighted blankets (haha!) - they can do wonders. You might also want to talk to his Occupational Therapist (OT) about a "brushing" regimin. Worked wonders on difficult child 2 right around your little guys age. If you look online, it's a very soft bristled brush and you literally brush his skin in a certain pattern. The Occupational Therapist (OT) would be able to give you lessons so that you can do it as he needs it. I used to do it 3x per day, once right before bed and it completely mellowed him out. Keep posting! We're here! :hangin: Beth [/QUOTE]
