My son is 12 years old and he was diagnosed last Wednesday even though we have known since he was 3 years old!
My son really struggles at bedtime he has his routine but he just cant seem to get off to sleep and when he does he wakes up a lot.
Has anyone got any advice please?
Hi JoJoBear,
There is a section here on the NAS site that you might find helpful - https://www.autism.org.uk/about/health/sleep.aspx - with suggestions for dealing with sleep difficulties, like keeping a sleep diary, having a regular routine, how diet might affect sleep, and various other information on the subject.
Hope you find something helpful here,
Best wishes,
Ross
