Light therapy?
Hi, there are various light "therapy" machines on amazon etc, some are red, some are clear, but most seem to achieve some results.
I'm wondering if I could benefit as I do feel better after a little sun, also my skin heals and stops being so dry. I'm not sure which "colour" to chose, infra red, red?
Any experience would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I am by no means an expert on using light therapy for ASD symptoms. But there are a few web-links that may or not help.
The first is from the Mayo Clinic
They discuss Light Therapy for seasonal affective disorder (SAD). This is a condition that some individuals experience at very high latitudes such as in Alaska. But it also seems to have a place in treating individual suffering from jet lag, sleep disorders, dementia and for individuals changing work schedules (daytime, swing, and graveyard shift).

The second is from the PsychEducation.org
They discuss dawn simulators, light therapy for bipolar depression, chronotherapy for depression.
Light therapy — bipolar
The third is by WebMD
They discuss using light therapy to treat various skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, or vitiligo. This is called phototherapy.
What Is Phototherapy?
So has anyone in the Aspie/Autistic community used any forms of light therapy and did you find it effective?
