Hi again...further to this, I'm just poking around on the internet and the majority of information I'm seeing is about Alzheimer's Disease. They are theorizing that sundowning is linked to fatigue and that impairmed thinking in the Alzheimer patient tuckers them out. They spend so much energy trying to understand their environment that it wears them out.

Now I know neither your son nor I have Alzheimer's! However, another tidbit I read was linked to stress. Perhaps being overloaded with stimulation can bring on a type of stress that results in sundowning. I don't know. I do feel that stress is definitely linked to my manias. As an adult, however my stressors might be different than your son's...not sure how old he is.
