My son takes a daily magnesium glycinate supplement that is supposed to help regulate sleep. He also takes melatonin. Liquid melatonin works for him where as gummies don't.
I am living in Malaysia
The definition of homeschool here is a center setup with small number of students. (Homeschool here may have different definition to most other countries, where it means strictly doing studies in own home).

Dear MyAutismTeam friends,
Please see this just-released study which details the financial cost to the U.S. of caring for individuals with autism across the lifespan. This is valuable information to share with education and political officials. Very little planning is being done, as we all know.

My daughter will threaten me in a very vague way, for example tell me a story about a girl and what she does to hurt her mother, and make sure I am very clear of who she is referring to

She might be upset at school and take it out on me in a cruel or threatening way, and hide it from others to avoid discussions about her feelings.
She may be pushing a boundary or “another inch” being wanty… read more
We all have resentment unless communication is comfortable . That's defiantly going to be the situation . Key is to create an environment to release tense feelings in a safe way towards you and others
