I believe the Kirkman cream is recommended for patients with autism because the sulfate portion, is also useful.
I've seen that mentioned on autism forums, but I don't know any patients personally with that point of view.
It certainly wouldn't hurt to try... before bedtime the cream is very soothing and relaxing. The advantage of Kirkman's cream is that you can measure out exactly what you need because of the way it is compounded. For small children this is important.
Patients with heavier body weights can handle more magnesium more easily than small children.
Some of the other topicals with magnesium do not give the precise dose/gram of the product and for small children would be difficult to know what exactly they are getting.
