My DS has ASD and he just doesn't sleep. It seems that the older he gets the less he sleeps. In the past 2 years he's only ever slept through the night 4 times!!
We have a very long bed time routine, bath, book, gentle massaging, lights low, absolutely nothing an hour before bed but the best results we've had were last winter when he slept for almost 8 hours!
But now with the heat it's a miracle if he can sleep for 2 hours without waking.
2 different GPs have said that he's too young for medication. I dread to imagine what the summer is going to be like.
Does anyone have a miracle cure or some brilliant tips.
