DS (ASD) has never slept through the night. Usually he is awake for a few hours when the rest of the household is in bed too.
He is almost three and we have been given Melatonin from the Paed which doesn't seem to dent it, but is worth trying IYSWIM?
We have had ten bad nights in a row. My Dad came to see me earlier and I was about to get a cab somewhere a bit later.
He asked why I didn't just walk there and I said that I was quite tired (had already walked around town to get DS to nap at around midday rather than at five or six) and that I had been up most of the night.
My Dad's solution?
(You will all be amazed at the originality of this suggestion )
"When you're at the doctor's just ask him for something to sort out his sleep"
Well if only I had thought of that!
I know he will never understand and must think that DH and I are very stupid, but he is an intelligent man himself! Surely he remembers that we have been to the GP several times about this even before diagnosis.
Anyone else had any genius advice lately?
