Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi again....I forgot to add, that for years, I had to cut Gareth's hair, nails, etc, after he went to sleep. I had a very small window to work with......maybe 30 minutes after him going to sleep but not later than a hour after. I guess that was his time period of deep sleep......and, yes, he would be up throughout the night. I would get a small lamp with a 40 watt bulb and go to work as quickly as I could!!! Gareth is 21 y/o now and lots of the therapies today weren't available back then. Many of us older parents just 'kinda winged it' with our kids. He was dx'd with autism at age 6 and the report read that he was so severely autistic that there was nothing to be done for him but the family (us) definitely needed support/help!!! My, how things have changed (for the better) in 15 yrs!!! Take care, Everyone. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
