- In the past couple of weeks my 4 your old, non verbal, autistic son refuses to go to bed. We know he's tired (been awake all day without any naps). However when I try taking him up, he almost struggles and fights to stay down stairs. On a few occasions he's slept on the floor and I've had to pick him up, whilst he's asleep, to bed. This behaviour coincides with other changes (scratching and pinching). It's appeared suddenly and out of nowhere. Any ideas? Suggestions?
