You could try asking for a prescription for Melatonin. Its a natural remedy that a lot of chlldren with ASDs are prescribed to help them sleep. Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland in response to dark environments and induces sleep. There is research that shows that some with ASD do not naturally produce sufficient melatonin, hence insomnia. We get it prescribed by Cons Pyschiatrist.
