Hello,
I am a stay at home mom to 4 wonderful children. i would not trade the time i get to spend with them for anything. The kids are growing up so fast it is unreal. My oldest is in second grade this year, my little me...lol..(she looks just like me) is in kindergarten, and then my baby girl was 4 in November, and my baby boy was 3 in December...He is the reason for joining this site.He is in the process of being evaluated for Autism.So far all they will tell me is that he has developmental delays, Gross motor delays, mixed receptive/expressive language disorder, sensory issues,low muscle tone...and then they say.."Early signs of Aspergers" or "Possible PDD-NOS" , we take him back again this month..i am hoping to hear something other than bring him back in 3 months..:) and his regular ped, said he thinks hi is on the higher end of the spectrum. and his speech therapist said she thinks he might have apraxia...so there you have it.....my introduction....:)...i am hoping to make some friends who understand without a word....:)

Okay I'm back and check out this site: www.activeforever.com (bed fan) not what you think so look at it. www.nationwidemattres.biz (this is pricey) it is an entire new mattress. Now this last one, people might think I'm crazy but we all do what we have to keep our loved ones comfortable, have you check dog beds. They have these little cooling beds for dogs. It is more like a mat that you could put under the sheets for him and would cool him down. Is he adverse to the A/C in his room, is that an option for you? Good luck and keep us posted.

Dana - I can't offer you any specifics, but you might check this discussion thread link http://www.autism-pdd.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26691&KW=sweat&PN=0&TPN=2 Both deficiency in vitamins and minerals as well as ethnic background are mentioned as possible culprits.
