Daughter asd sleep and behaviour problems help !!!

Blueangel76

hi all

im new here and hoping for some advice. My daughter is seven and last week finally has the ados assessment and has been diagnosed asd. I always knew in my heart she wasn't quite right and am thankful after all these years we have a diagnoses. However despite having a diagnoses now my partner of three years (not my daughters father) is constantly telling me her behaviour and routines are nothing to do with being asd and she is just a naughty spoilt little girl that I habe brought up wrong. He says I dont siacipline her and let her get away with everything. Where's the line between being naughty and asd ? We are rowing constantly. To top it off my daughter has severe sleep issues she settles to sleep but then is awake every hour crying knocking on doors and cannot settle ahe is very anxious and scared. Her paediatrician has prescribed circadian 2mg which she has taken for a week with no difference at all !!! She wants to be with me. I said to my partner to bring her bed in my room so we can all get some much needed sleep but he said he doesn't want to listen to her noise all night !!! I'm at a loss of what to do regarding it all

  • Hi,

      Do try some of the other things I mentioned on my list. You don't have to follow them to the letter, tweak and adapt them to suit your child. Once you've exhausted all other options, ask your GP for a refferal to a sleep specialist, they maybe able to give more mechanical advice or even adjust meds etc.

    One of my boys get night terrors. We were told he would grow out of them. He never has. We've had to adapt around his sleep issues to accommodate him.

    Does your daughter say why she's scared? If she has auditory issues you may find my 'Sound/Noise' section useful.
