hi!
i have a 13 year old with Autism, ADHD, sensory integration problems and mod. learning difficulties.
he goes to sleep in his bed. with lots of hugs. then at about 2 am (sometimes before, sometimes after) he comes into my bed. and wraps himself around me.
i'm planning on ensuring he stays in his bed...
i have: 1 social story
er, that's it!
anybody been there? any useful tips?
thanks!

hi Sandra,
yes, it was quite useful, actually.
on a practical basis: i was recommended to just put him back in his bed...hmmm
it seems a shame although i know that it is the right thing for him: but when he is asleep he is at peace, and it is nice, and comforting. i have to remember this is not about me, it's about him, and his independence. in my dreams he grows from it, and learns more about independence, and feels proud for 'doing it for himself' 
on the other hand...
thanks for the post.
any first/second/third hand experiences would be very welcome!
