You've heard this from me before, but I suggest you try an occasional children's show for Adam when he needs some "unwinding" quiet, relaxing time. Think I would get them on DVD (Ebay or Amazon) and play them on the TV. And sit with him at least for the first time through the particular show and talk to him about the show. After a little research I suggest trying these to which might be of interest to him: Blue's Clues; Dora the Explorer; Go Diego, Go; Little Bear; Franklin; Wonder Pets; Backyardigans, Yo Gabba Gabba
