Bedtime and Sleeping

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?

  • Both my Autistic daughters take melatonin because they just couldn't get to sleep it doesn't keep them asleep it just helps to get them to sleep but only works with a very rigid bed routine we also use white noise machines we bought off amazon as both my girls cannot sleep in a quiet room  my older daughter also uses audio books if she wants a change from white noise x
