I don't know if it is common for autistic kids or not. talked in his sleep way before talking regularly in real life. That was something that kept me sane when he was 18 mo - 3 years. I could hear words in his sleep so I knew he could say them. ;-) kandie Kandie and (9 years) * 's website: <A HREF= " http://kidsactivities.homestead.com/spage.html " >spage</A> * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But frustrating, too, I bet! >> Yes, comforting at the time but kind of a false comfort. I was using that as my main reason not to look into diagnosis and stuff. :-/ But in time, everything fell into place and here I am the mother of a very unusual (even for an autistic guy) 9 year old! ;-) kandie Kandie and (9 years) * 's website: <A HREF= " http://kidsactivities.homestead.com/spage.html " >spage</A> * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 I don't know who it is common for but I used to talk in my sleep and so does my sister and my husband still does along with Greggory. Alec doesn't but he is basically nonverbal and doesnt make much babbling sounds all day anyway. JacquieH > UMMM...this is gonna sound really wierd, but do any of you all's kids > talk in their sleep?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 ... Jacqui talks in her sleep. Last night I heard her say " I can't read this! " " I can't read this!! " ....Usually she giggles uncontrollably in her sleep, (which is just precious, btw).... My son, Jeff, use to talk all the time in his sleep, but it was totally incoherent. He would sleep walk to0. When he was about 12, he walked in his sleep and fell down a whole flight of stairs. eegads, that sucked. Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 I'm not sure what post this started with, but - - I hold conversations in my sleep. Shaun often holds long conversations with me, and sometimes, I will be awoken by the shaking of the bed from his out of control laughter at my answers. I usually wake up quite disoriented, and keep on talking about whatever I was saying before. In the middle of sleeping, I will suddenly say something, he will ask me to repeat it, and I will, then going on to explaining how that folder must be placed in this slot, or how that murdered must be found, he's hiding behind the garbage dump, etc etc. In my defense, it always happens when I am entirely pooped out.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 LOL Jeff says dumbs thing like " Move out of the way! Can't you see I am fishing for Whale?! " When we first got married he was not used to sharing a bed so he used to punch me in his sleep and pull my hair and say nasty mean things to me, but he was sleeping! He also walks in his sleep. When we were dating he would crawl through my bedroom window in the middle of the night and sometimes he would fall asleep and I would always worry that he would start talking in his sleep or worse yet sleep walk and my parents would hear him! We had more than our fair share of close calls with that but never got caught:) Jacquie H > I'm not sure what post this started with, but - - I hold conversations in > my sleep. > Shaun often holds long conversations with me, and sometimes, I will be > awoken by the shaking of the bed from his out of control laughter at my > answers. > I usually wake up quite disoriented, and keep on talking about whatever I > was saying before.
