I have autism and I find a lot of comfort in a weighted blanket. You can get them in lots of sizes and weights. It's very soothing! If there is trouble with physical contact, but they are having issues, the weighted blanket can be used similar to a hug; releasing endorphins, without the person to person contact.

My friend uses a gray sound machine when she puts him to bed. We put a gate up at his door to keep him in his room. He is 4 years old and tends to wander after everyone else is sleeping. We do the brush your teeth and pj routine. The sound machine is a lifesaver!

I know this was 4 years ago. But my younger sister (aged 4) has autism and she refuses to sleep. She’ll scream and cry in her room, then open the door. My mom tries to get her back in her room but she’ll just kick and scream until my mom gives up and sleeps in the living room with her. (Takes a while for her to sleep there) . At my dads house she sleeps just fine but with my mom she won’t sleep. When my stepdad is home she’ll sleep, but not with my mom. I’m 13 what do i do?

Hello i have a 5 year old and he has trouble going to sleep also. He wants to constantly run or walk back and forth. He wants to also play alot at night time. He refuses to stay in bed and comes into our room. It has been difficult because we also have a 3 month old. Help any advice would be appreciated.thanks for reading and responding.

@astruz5674 7 лет назад

What can I do? My son is three and now he speaks but he wants to tell everything before he sleeps, it may take hours. What is better to do stop him or not, if not he will talk for hours .We also read book before, he says about other things different.

@Intothespectrumvideos 6 лет назад

Thank you for your comment and sorry for the delayed response! Try to keep the same bedtime every night by setting guidelines to follow. This will create a routine so everybody goes to bed and everybody is happy :)

@michaelnorman3185 6 лет назад

@davewhitaker 3 года назад

Sleep hygiene is beneficial to all kids. It's not the root cause for people with autism. Maybe if you explained medically why autistic kids struggle with sleep it would give parents a better understanding of whats happening.

@Intothespectrumvideos 3 года назад

That is a good idea! Maybe in a new video! Thanks!

Hello! Thank you for your question! I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with the bedtime routine! It is not easy! Check out this book that has some great additional tips! amzn.to/2npjhMB "Good Night, Sweet Dreams, I Love You, Now Get Into Bed and Go To Sleep" by Patrick C Friman. They have something called a "bedtime pass" that could be helpful. Hope this helps and thanks again for watching!! :)

My son's Dr recommended Melatonin to help with sleep. I have tried everything listed in your video and he still winds up in my bed. I was concerned about adding more meds to the ones he is already on.

@Intothespectrumvideos 7 лет назад

I always suggest seeking out medical opinions. I do not know about the medication side of this. They would know if it is okay to take those specific medications. I do know that many of my clients are taking Melatonin and that does seem to help from what the parents tell me!

@ermericcarolissen694 5 лет назад

We use Melatonin for our son and he sleeps well. We've been using it for a couple of years now and have had no issues. He is not on any other medication though.

@elliotlikesdinos 3 года назад

@@ermericcarolissen694 I use melatonin (I'm 14 so still a child) and even when I skip a day, because I take it every second day, I'm still falling asleep almost instantly because it's gotten me into a decent (not really decent but still a working) schedule.

I don’t see these tips being any different than a typical kid bedtime habit. My autistic daughter already does all of that, since an infant. Was looking for specific tips and not generic stuff we can read anywhere.

@laceypeters4657 7 лет назад

These tips are very helpful! What do you think about playing soothing music or sounds while putting children to bed? I taught preschool and found that this could be very helpful in helping 20 3-4 year olds get some rest in the middle of the day.

@edwardkiger3839 4 года назад

Thank you, Tip #1 works, he likes toys that sooth him so he gets to pick a toy, Tip #3 works a set bed time which is 8:30 pm even when there is activity, he would say bed time because it's his routine, which works, cause routine is the key for autism. Thank You

@blackzack5494 4 года назад

@elliotlikesdinos 3 года назад

I wouldn't say these are things you need to be a parent to do. You can easily make a bedtime schedule (I dont want to assume but I do know a lot of autistic people , including myself, like going along with some kind of schedule) you most likely, depending how old you are, sleep in your own bed. You can also quite easily find a soothing object as that can be anything you like and feel comfortable with. And unless you have reasons like needing the toilet you can easily stay in bed, and if you do find this difficult, try to slowly work your way into staying in bed all night using tactics you can find in other places on the internet Just realised I missed 3, but just like she said, basically just try to notice the times you start getting tired and then go to bed then, then move the time slowly once you are in the rhythm so can move to a more suitable time for sleeping so it can work with waking up and getting the right amount of sleep
