Sounds like you're trying plenty of sensible things!
Things that soothe my son to sleep are:
- listening to a familiar story tape/CD or music in his bed with the
lights dimmed. Has to be familiar or it keeps him awake.
- watching a moving nightlight. When he was little he used to have a
little magic-lantern light that rotated; now he has a projection clock
which changes colour gradually. (A lava lamp might be nice if they're
safe at night.)
- when his mind is buzzing and especially if he's anxious, I go in,
get him to lie down and tell him I'll come back in 10 minutes. And
repeat.
Dunno if any of those would work for your son, but I thought I'd
mention them!
