What results do you see with the Epsom Salt baths? We have never

tried this.

Thanks,

Michele,

Does have problems with relaxation or sleep? (3 1/2

asd) has had big time problems with sleep. We've gone night after night

with him getting up around 1 or 2 and not going back down until 6 or 7.

Right now the epsom salt baths are part of our regimen that also includes

the drug clonidine and the Ferber method. Our results so far have been

encouraging. He sleeps through the night sometimes and when he does get up,

he usually goes back to sleep pretty quickly.

Pat,

Thanks for responding so quickly. No, my son doesn't seem to have a

sleeping problem. So I suppose the baths aren't necessary. Though

they would probably be a good suggestion for my friends with non-

autistic kids having sleep problems similar to your sons.
