I have a 7 year old son who has now been taken out of school and home teached by myself. (Long story)

The problem I have is now we have no interactive help off anyone what so ever, they have all given up and the advice we were given made my son even worse.

My son will not wear any clothes what so ever with buttons-collars-zips-buttons etc. He will only wear pj's cotton with nothing on just plain. The only colours he will wear is pink or purple. We took him out of school as he refused and got very upset to the point where he was physically sick to wear the school uniform.

I hardly go out now because one he will only were pink pj's and two he will not walk far. He sits down and refuses to move or throws tantrums and says he is tired. He will not go in a wheel chair or buggy and really gets irratated outside with other people.

We have great issues with his sleeping, He can be awake for 3 days at a time and he gets out of a routine very easily. The slighest noise he is awake and we end up a sleep in the day and awake all night.

It takes about a week to turn his sleep back around but even then, It goes back so easily he seems to need not much sleep. The only advice we get from Doctors is put him on drugs to make him sleep.

I do not want to do this to a 7 year old maybe if he was older but not at 7. The other problem I have is he sleep with me in my bed and my husband sleeps in his bed. This has been going on for 5 years now.

If he can not feel me in bed he wakes up and is up all night, I have tried weighted blankets, teddies you name it with no avail. He wakes up all the time.

I can not go to the toilet in the night because if I move he is up and that is it. I have tried sleeping with him in the same room no avail.

This is a main reason we took him out of school with many other issues, But his attendance was very low he always has been a bad sleeper from birth.

He won't sleep - Has problems with walking and he will only wear pink clothes any ideas Thanks in advance .
