Hello All,
I write this post in hopes that someone else may be dealing with what we currently are or had dealt with this in the past and has some great advice to share.
My daughter is 3 years old, had been diagnoses with high functioning autism for a while now. For the last 3 weeks she has been waking up numerous times at night sometimes freaking out, sometimes crying or just overall laughing and wanting to play. We have tried literally EVERYTHING to try and help her stay asleep or to encourage good sleep. We have done the following:
1. no electronics or tv
2. no stimulating activities
3. no lights or anything to cause her to be stimulated
4. no eating or drinking 30-45 minutes before bed.
5. took as many distractions away from her room as possible and not have it crowded or cluttered.
No matter what my husband I have done, nothing helps. Has anyone found anything that may have worked for their child? any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to try advice before requesting for a sleep test. Thank you.
