My ds is 6, and has high functioning Aspergers. He is smart as a whip, but acts as though he is hyperactive. He has been particularly naughty lately - cheeky comments, bad language, generally bad behaviour. He eats a good diet, is not allowed lots of sweets or junk, or sugary drinks. Sometimes he is practically jumping up and down on the spot. He has never been easy at bedtime, but through the winter was unexpectedly good. Now that the evenings are light, instead of 8pm bedtime, reading for a little while and asleep by 8.30 or so, he is bouncing, cheeky and pestering his older sister (13), and we are lucky if he is asleep by 10pm. Yelling doesn't work, naughty step doesn't work, the only thing that seems to get through to him sometimes is taking away TV, computer and Wii rights.
I am open to suggestions - I am near the end of my tether. I don't really want to get the School Doctor involved, although she is very supportive of us and a genuinely nice person.
