Hi All

I've been giving my daughter melatonin now for 6 years. It works
wonderfully. However, I'm having a problem with my usual supplier
Prices Power who I have been with since the very beginning. I made my
usual order and paid for it, but it hasn't arrived and they won't
answer any of the many emails I've sent. My bank is going to recover
the money I spent. But the big problem now is finding another
supplier who will send to Australia.

I now a lot of you use melatonin and I was just hoping someone would
be able to recommend a reputable supplier.

I would really appreciate your help, as melatonin is not made in
Australia only the herbal type which is of no use.

Thanks in advance.

Dawn,
iHerb.com ships to Australia (don't know how expensive it would be -
but they do have some flat rate shipping). Here's the link:

Hi Gary

Cheers for the link. I'm not too worried about cost. I really need a
reputable company. I've known you for many years now Gary so I trust
your advice, you've never steered me wrong :-)

How are you anyway? Things are very quiet here :-(

We're really busy here. I've decided to home school Miss 10. She
just wasn't happy or learning at school. It's been 5 months now and
she is thriving and all of her anxieties have disappeared. It's hard
work, but we go at her pace and she's retaining more.

Speak to you soon
Dawn

Dawn,
I am doing well. Lots of changes though. I work at the Veterans
Affairs Medical center now - I am a psychology technician, which means
I counsel veterans with substance abuse and mental health problems
(usually post-traumatic stress disorder). I also do some testing. It
is busy and interesting work. I no longer deal with autism on a daily
basis - which is a big chnage for me. My grandson, Peter, has returned
to live with his parents so the house is empty and quiet.

Home schooling can be great for our guys - the social aspects of
school are overrated for those with autism. She can get that part of
her education in many ways. Glad to hear from you, friend.

By the way, I usually get my vitamins from Puritan's Pride - they ship
internationally also. Here's their link:

Wow Gary that's a huge change. But in many ways very similar.
You go where you're needed, where it feels right.

You must miss Peter so much I got the impression he was like your own
son.

The home schoolling is the best decision we could've ever made. I
tried the year before
but Rachel didn't want to do it. I didn't want to force her as that
wouldn't have worked.

But the beginning of the new school year, I asked and she jumped at
the chance.
She had made a good friend at school for 2 years, but I think she just
likes the idea of
having a friend and not have to put in the work that's needed to keep
them :)

She still keeps in touch with her mate but no great effort is put into
it.
The social aspects are covered with swimming lessons, sport and circus
training.

She's actually doing more socially now than before lol.

We work at our own pace, I don't have to worry about how much sleep,
which I might add has gotten much better.

Life is treating us well and I hope life's treating you well.

Dawn
