Hi,
i have a 6 yr old with HFA and a 2 n half yr old who is in system for MDA assessment.
Both boys, my youngest has such awful behaviour and sleep patterns. Takes a while to fall asleep but then will often wake up at 3 am and demand 'jake and never land pirates' (favourite cartoon/ oas the theme tune to it on Utube) he also demands food and drink constantly anyway but iOS quite hard to deal with at 3 am!
He won't return bk to bed once he is up so try to encourage him to upstairs at first but we always end up down. As when u refuse anything to my son he hits, kicks, bites, pulls hair, screams v v loud. n Wakes the whole house up or just keeps up the bahaviour until I give him what he wants.
Then it's 20 times worse that day coz he is mega tired so behaviours are awful.
Just wondered if anyone has delat with a simulier age and same situation, it's my sons way or the high way to to sPeek.
Just get very emotional when he hits out, as he is soo little ( well he's r big for his age but u kn what I mean.
Any tips or advice to reduce the food intake, keep him in bed, n get him back to sleep would be apperishated.
been here once before was much stronger last time, but my eldest boy didn't have any 'behaviour' issues, he is more social, emotional issues.
just want to cry but where does that get you eh?! My little man doesn't care a sod if I cry He'll just keep on hitting etc .
Thanks Stacey, sorry if I'm rambling v tired xx
