Statt haufenweise Geld in der drölfzigsten ableistischen Studie "wie wir Autismus heilen könnten" zu versenken, könntet ihr doch mal eine RCT zu Melatonin und Schlafstörungen bei erwachsenen Autist·innen aufsetzen.
Wir brauchen ordentliche Daten, um die Kostenübernahme der entsprechenden Präparate durchsetzen zu könnnen. (Noch besser wäre natürlich ein zugelassenes Präparat.)
Das wäre mal eine echte Steigerung der Lebensqualität von geplagten schlaflosen Autist·innen!
@avuko I have a very neurodiverse family. My two stepsons are autistic. One of them has tourette's and bipolar. Me and my biokids have severe #ADHD. We all have lots of sleep issues. Thus, we have taking #melatonin for a couple of decades. My boy with #tourettes has the hardest time with sleep. His neurologist told us to not be shy with the melatonin. We've found a level that's right for him, and he takes it about 2 hours before bedtime. The other kids take a smaller dose about 30 minutes around bedtime.
Melatonin commonly taken by kids not a magic bullet, pediatricians say.
Parents should be cautious: “…parents often reported giving melatonin for more than 12 months, but research on its long-term safety in kids and teens is lacking.”
#Melatonin#Sleep phase delay of at least one full cycle (if not too since my REM phase seems to start at the second cycle).
I've started a cure, even though there is litterature about autism and melatonin, I'm not optimistic.

A 3-year-old short video, but a good one from SciShow -- a
consumer-oriented YouTube science show which is generally well-done.
Goes into:
-- ADHD and sleep disorders overlaps
-- Chicken and the egg problem -- which comes first
-- Altered Circadian Rhythm & ADHD correlation
-- Sleep Onset Insomnia: Is treating it a way to improve ADHD symptoms
(pretty much YES, although more research would be good)
Lots of research, although mostly children's studies. Should many
people with ADHD be taking melatonin?

#Melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, can also help reduce food waste. A new study, which summarizes hundred other studies, found that melatonin can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, by slowing down their ripening and decay. This could save millions of tons of food from being thrown away every year, and benefit both the environment and the economy.
