  • Hi Crystal - thanks for your comment. yes there has been one big change recently. my daughter has had to change the boys bedrooms around - she has three boys - the youngest aged 3 (recently diagnosed as being at the severe end of the spectrum) has had to moved into his own bedroom; he had been in with his middle brother.  the older boy Thomas who is only mildly affected has been moved to share with his  brother, and since then his bedtime behaviour has been getting out of hand. He is always very sorry afterwards but we are at a loss to know how to help him, he is out of control, he will not stay in bed although obviously tired, runs into his mothers bedroom and causes havoc and insites his youngest brother to the same behaviour. so sometimes she has both boys kicking and hitting her.

    any ideas would be really welcome
