Hi! I am new to the forum - having recently got a private diagnosis of ASD for my daughter I still feel like I am very much alone and am constantly doing deep dives into what can help support her. This heat is really affecting my D13 already bad sleep - she only likes to sleep under a soft blanket whether its freezing or boiling - not a duvet. Last night she was really suffering with incredibly itchy skin that was stopping her sleep. Eventually I persuaded her to have an anti histamine and she managed to fall asleep whilst I watched - this was at 4am.
My question is:
What bedclothes can you recommend? If she isn't using duvet is there anything else you could recommend?
Sometimes she needs a hug to hold her into place as her body moves and awakens her but often she refuses this as she does not want the touch.
Any tips or ideas?
She is on melatonin 2mg but these give her horrendous nightmares and hallucinations so doesn't take the medication anymore!
Thanks so much in advance!
