anyone else with a child with ASD in for a night of hell because the clocks go back?

DS1's on the rampage. omg. Has already thrown stuff down the stairs, hit his brother, thrown a game out of the window and shut himself in the dark conservatory, sobbing :(

oops. the clocks go forward. Yano what I mean

ooh, thanks for the reminder - I need to get to dd1's watch before she does tomorrow morning, or else she'll be on the wrong time all day...

hope your ds calms down soon.

great, innit. He's now progressed to sobbing under the duvet

hope your DCs (and you) managed to get some sleep

We did thank you. He is a bit happier this morning

Just after I read your post last night I heard DS2 (12) crying upstairs. For the first time he'd got concerned that all the clocks hadn't been changed yet and he didn't know what the 'real' time was. I calmed him down and we both went around the house changing the clocks and he finally went to bed at 11.00pm GMT, midnight BST!

We forgot.

Only realised when ds1 got up to do his usual Sunday morning tv-athon and he'd missed half the programmes.

You can imagine how well that went' down.

Let's just say I am soooo glad he's in bed now.

DS2 is generally pretty much oblivious to the time, thank goodness, so this wasn't an issue. whew... but I'll have to keep it in mind for when he does start noticing the time more!

Hope everyone is settled again now.

This year I've learnt my lesson - I sought an Official Source: the calendar saying, in so many words, 'clocks go forward one hour', so it is ok.
It is not crazy mummy trying to disrupt the very fabric of the universe by changing the clocks like last year.

Ds1 has had the day off school

He got up at his usual time (6am old time) but obv it mucked his internal bosy clock up as he has had a bad headache and looks very pale.

ahh sc13 we had one of those calendars as well. It helped until it got to The Day (as often happens here) but that too ended up on the conservatory roof
