Advice please

hi, my son is 5 has asd has no speech. he struggles with sleeping. He had a bed but broke it, he now only has a mattress on the floor, doesnt look nice but his safety comes first. we have struggled since he was 2. We had to remove all furniture from his bedroom as he has broke it all. The best advise i can give is to make your daughters bedroom safe, put her to bed at the sametime every night making sure she cant get out of her room. It is very hard but routine is the key to help children with asd. When i first started this my son was very angry frustrated and cried alot, i hated every monemt of it but stuck it out. Now he accepts going to his room at 7pm most nights. He still doesnt sleep well, like tonight he fell asleep at 10:30pm, took him 3and half hours but he stayed ib his room for this time, but he will probably wake in the middle of the night. As long as they are safe in their room it is good for them to have the same routine and they need to know bedtime is bedtime. It can take a very long time, they will improve as time goes on with very small steps, but we will get there in the end. If you do bye a bed i suggest a divan, as my son broke all the slats on his wooden bed. You can get natural sleeping medicine (meletonin), but only from a peadiatricean. I refused it to when he was 3 because i thought he was too young and was hoping by the time he started school he would be better. but that didnt happen. i started using it 3 months ago, it hasnt made any difference for me but i know for otherchildren it has worked.

#good luck, wish you all the best!
