Hi,
I am really hoping someone may be able to offer some words of wisdom around my daughter, I have suspected for a while that’s she has ASD, her moods are very changeable, she has to follow certain routines/directions, hates certain touch/feel and can lash out, all of this has been manageable but I am now starting to really struggle with her sleep pattern.
She has night terrors 1-2 times a month, I have to let her work out of them, hopefully this makes sense and then she will want cuddles and goes straight back to sleep, more recently she has started waking 5-6 times a night, leading to very broken sleep for her and myself.
i have also noticed that she will be randomly talking in her sleep or almost grinding her teeth.
i have done the obvious of a calm bedtime routine, bath and milk and no screen time, o have cut out sugar from her diet but in the last few weeks and in particular 5/7 nights have been broken which I know isn’t great!
any words of advice would be hugely appreciated - I have an appointment booked with the dr and a sleep diary from the last month, but tbh don’t hold out much hope with them.
thanks
