    Have tried this unfortunately, it is the input both through sound and movement he enjoys in the pram we think and he doesn’t get any of those things by being stationary in our flat :(

    Thanks a lot for this, I find it really interesting learning about how different individuals’ minds work. I definitely think there could be something in this for us. If Ollie does not sleep by the time we come back into our house he gets upset. We put a blanket over his pram at night to share...

    Also just to add on this, there is a lot of focus around the fact he is 4 on your post which I understand. However, he is very attached to his pram and we have a specialised pram for him that more than holds his weight and size.

    I 100% agree with what you’re saying and I feel we have made a Rod for our own back with the pram. However, we have tried so many different things to try and make his bed more desirable for him to no success at all. I feel due to his ASD his intellectual level is just not at the stage it needs...

    Thanks for this, I really like the fort suggestion. Ultimately I am really keen for him to be back in his bed to sleep. We have literally tried everything to try and make his bed more desirable for him, recently we bought a ‘snuggly’ tent canvas that goes over his tent that we thought might...

    Hey, not really he is currently non-verbal with very limited understanding of language. Essentially he will have a meltdown which only stops when he is being pushed in the pram, we think it gives him the sensory input he is craving at that time. If we don’t push him he will cry and kick his legs...

    Hi all, I am writing this post about my son Oliver. He has just turned 4 year old and is far along the autism diagnosis process. We are having a horrendous time with his sleep - we obviously recognise this is a very common issue in autistic individuals but this is gradually getting worse and...

    Sleeping for my 3 year old son.

    No nothing really unfortunately. Part of me thinks he is maybe outgrowing his nap but then again I still think he should be knackered by bed time even with a nap.

    Sleeping for my 3 year old son.

    Thanks for your response. Could look into weighted blankets. For some reason, recently he has become really triggered when we put covers over him so not too sure. We are definitely going to look into melatonin although we are a bit unsure if we should wait for a doctor to prescribe this due to...

    Sleeping for my 3 year old son.

    Hi, We are a family with a 3 year old son. He is on the waiting list to be diagnosed, however we both are certain he has autism. He is generally a really happy boy however in the past week or so, his sleep has become really poor. He has a real, real meltdown whenever he goes into his bed. He has...
