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 Johnsmum,
the bit about the loft bed is hilarious, as i keep thinking i'd love to get my son a loft bed, but deep down i'm not sure if he'd actually want to sleep in it! i was thinking of using it as a sort of climbing frame (with monkey bars and things) or even a swing of some description! 
my son has a double duvet, as he wraps himself up around it, and i thought he'd appreciate the extra weight.
duvet cover? hmm. i only use 100% cotton. my son has eczema and he sweats a lot at night: not a good combo with polyester.
if you had a sewing machine, you could always sew the duvet (as in, where the poppers are) and just keep rippin' and sewin' (a bit labour intensive, i have to admit, lol)
how about a sleeping bag (for the snuggness effect)? my son really likes it, sometimes, just for chilling out in...
best wishes
