How many mg of melatonin can my 42 lb 7year old can take? he has been taking 1 mg for 2 years now and has been dx with asd

A S D : Abbreviations are very confusing which is why so many people use them. This acronym suggests autism or heart disease, and while I don't consider the small dose of 1 mg melatonin to be contributory to either condition, you will want to discuss its benefits and drawbacks with your specialists and primary care physician.
