Professor Marion Leboyer, University of Paris, France, recently presented on the compelling neurobiological story of discovering the first autism genes (some of them, so far), as noted in today’s Science Daily.

I’m not surprised at all re:melatonin link. From birth Adam did not sleep nearly as much as other infants. As in he was awake 10 hours a day the first week. Not fussy but happy we didn’t mind, but it was unusual how little he has always slept. He would have been a candidate for a melatonin-decrease-marker that may have alerted us earlier on to his Aspergers (maybe).
And melatonin has helped Charlie to (at long last!) have a regular sleep schedule.
Yea – I forgot that part. We LOVE our melatonin dose 30 min before bedtime too!!
