Sleep is so important to wellbeing and it is frequently a problem for autistic people. I am very glad that here in the UK research funding has been granted to look at this issue.
Regarding coping strategies I was interested to see that the Anna Freud website has 85 self care strategies for young people, suggested by young people.
Although not specifically designed for autistic young people some of these coping strategies look like they might be helpful (I am going to try some myself): https://www.annafreud.org/selfcare/
Your son's art is wonderful! I followed the link on your profile and saw some of his work. He has a real talent. I hope you will post some of his work on this forum, if he agrees, so that other people can enjoy it.
