Futhi ezinye izifundo zithole ukuthi izingane ku-autism spectrum zivame ukuba namazinga aphansi e-melatonin, i-hormone eyenzeka ngokwemvelo esiza ukulawula ukuphaphama kanye nemijikelezo yokulala.

Kunamasu amaningi okulala ezingane zazo zonke izidingo, eziningi zazo esizihlola ngezansi, kodwa uDkt. Beurkens uthi ukulondoloza isimiso sesikhathi sokulala esingashintshi kufanele kube kuqala. “Ukunikeza isikhathi sokuphumula nokusonga ngaphambi kokulala kusiza kakhulu izingane ukuthi zilale futhi zilale,” usho kanje.

" - UNicole Beurkens, Ph.D., isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo yezingane

Ezinye izingane ku-autism spectrum noma ezine-ADHD zingase zidinge imithamo emikhulu ku-2-6mg. ububanzi bokusekela ukulala.

Khetha inhlanganisela yamaprotheni, ama-carbohydrate ayinkimbinkimbi, nama-carbs anempilo-njenge-apula elinebhotela lamantongomane noma i-hummus nge-pita yokusanhlamvu—ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ingane yakho ayivuki ebusuku ngenxa yokwehla kukashukela egazini. Gwema ukudla okulula okunoshukela ngaphambi kokulala, okungenza kube nzima ukulala." - UDkt. Beurkens

Ngezansi ezinye zezintandokazi zethu, ezihlelelwe ukungaziwa. (Umbhali-munye we-athikili u-Jamie Pacton uzame ngempumelelo i-#5 ne-#7 kuye Indodana eneminyaka engu-7 ubudala ene-autism.)

5. Funda imanyuwali. "Ibhuku Imikhuba Yokulala Enempilo, Ingane Ejabulisayo ngu-Marc Weissbluth, MD, umzali wami/ubuthongo bami IBhayibheli .

Ngemva kokuba sisebenzise isimiso esiqinile sokulala esihambisana ne-melatonin, izinto zaba ngcono kakhulu. Kwadingeka siqaphe, nakuba , ngenkathi edla futhi ephuza kanye nemisebenzi yakhe ngaphambi nje kokulala. Ngesinye isikhathi sabona i-spike, futhi wayese-Clonidine ngaphezu kwe-melatonin, kodwa ekugcineni, samkhipha. Manje wenza kahle ngempela ngo-10 iminyaka. Usamfuna umama wakhe!"

Uma lokhu kungasebenzi ngemva kwesigamu sehora noma ngaphezulu siyagoba futhi siphonsa imuvi (engineqiniso lokuthi imane ishukumise okwengeziwe kodwa *singakwazi ukozela). Uma namanje ngemuva kwefilimu yemizuzu engama-90, sigqoka Baby Okokuqala isiteshi. Banezingoma ezipholile zasebusuku nemibala ethambile. Ekugcineni uzokhukhuleka."
