My ds is 10 and is mildly autistic so doesn't realise that I can't feel what he feels. Recently he has been waking nearly every night complaining of numb hands or numb feet. He thinks I can cure it (why he calls for me) not realising that only he can do the shaking / moving / change of position to get the feeling back. At first I thought is was a one off, that he'd slept on his side or something. However now he complains of numb hands in the day as well and has numb feet at night too. I've search all the threads for numbness in children but all the discussion seems to be for numbness in pregnancy or in adults generally. Dh is making an appointment to see GP but I know there is so much knowledge here on MN that I wondered if anyone had any ideas?
