Muddling Dreams and Reality?

I am trying to understand my autistic 8 year old better.  Has anyone ever had dreams that then become confused as reality?  Is this an autistic trait?

Thanks

    Hi CJ

    As far as the COMPLETE GUIDE TO ASPERGERS goes, it covers all the developmental stages of autistic, aspergian and even typical children a bit too. Whatever you cannot learn from this book about the specifics of your daughter's autism, it has all you will need to find where you can. Also, it may help you to organise your research criteria, ask more informative questions, and be more comprehensive with the answers.

    As for your daughter's muddling dreams and reality. Well, considering the austic need for a fixed practical routine in daily life, it is not at all surprising that this would have been fixedly continued on with in your daughter's dreaming life. In what way then does this not quite fit with the situation being discussed? Consider what you and Vometia have discussed in terms of Lucid Dreaming - if you choose to answer this question.
