Sleeping in clothes

Tulip52

Someone i know is sleeping in his clothes and often doesnt change the following day or have a wash. He is Autistic and has ADHD. He sleeps on the sofa with the light on, the tv on and the heating on. He regularly doesnt sleep until the early mid hours of the morning. He says he sleeps better on the sofa. I dont want to push my views on him, but i want the best for him.

  • Depends....

    Depressed or on the edge = get them help

    Works a job or gets sweaty = needs a bath

    If they have done that forever and aren't getting nasty, it's just their thing. Best to leave them alone because they aren't likely to change. The TV thing is normal for us. Get them to use the timer. Just don't make a big deal about things and try to ease into changes.

    Oh and the sleeping thing, that's a norm too for some. I sleep fine and am off the charts ASD. My son is too but he has stayed up half of the night all of his life. No matter what I did to change it I couldn't. Some things are just who we are and the best thing you can do for us is to try to accept them. Yeah we need to improve, everyone does. But choose your battles and try to understand that they don't see the world as you do.
