10 yr old sleep pattern

You are welcome

Thank you again ; )

I think you can do it by clicking on to another persons profile or click onto your message box (the speech bubble icon) then click new message - then type the members name in :) it’s not the most user friendly system! 

you are right in saying that a. External perspective can help, sometimes an unbiased opinion can go a long way :) 

Iv just realised I don't no how to message any1 this is my 1st day on here 

No I don't feel u was critical at all but did fear that posting I may of got negativity,I appreiciate the advise from sombody who doesn't actually no us it helps alot.Thank you I might take you up on the offer of bein able to message you altho you might regret that ha ha 

No worries - please don’t think I’m being critical of your parenting - far from it as I imagine it must be VERY difficult. I was just trying to throw an external perspective into the mix :) drop me a message if you want a chat or just offload. My message settings allow anyone to message me :) 

Thank you yes you are totally right he always has full control of everything because I like to avoid any conflict but you have kinda given me a kick up the behind to realise I need to take some control so thank you for your advise 

I think ultimately this is where some tough love has to come in - some on here will argue against discipline (I don’t mean that in a barbaric sense - more you asserting your control etc) but I think (and please don’t take this the wrong way) he is controlling the shots at the moment, and you need to regain that position of authority - it may mean turbulence at first - but it doesn’t sound like the gentle and persuasive approach has worked.

Yes I totally agree with what you have said about it being harder work in the long run when I'm forced to try and change this routine so iv tried doing it slowly by trying to wake him rather than him waking him self hoping that if i could do this abit at a time we will get there eventually.but if he's not ready to be awake he will just go back to sleep or get angry thought I managed it the other day then he was sick everywere because he was so tired.I just want to keep the house calm if i even mention moving the computer he will loose it and most probly smash his bedroom up.

Personally I think of you allow it to become the new norm, it’s making for bigger problems down the line, such as when schools go back and there’s also the fact he is in essence unsupervised if the rest of the house is sleeping. Whilst I don’t normally advocate breaking routine for someone with ASD, I think you will need to here - even if it’s a case of you having to take the computer away and hide it/ lock it away over night - it’s not ideal but I think he needs to get back into a normalised daily routine sooner rather than later else it becomes even harder to rectify.
