Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi Ruthie, your next to bottom paragraph when you wrote you put pure lavender drops on his head and massage it in to help him sleep. Have you ever tried those soothing music tapes? like nature sounds, water running, wind blowing? that has helped my son. I turn on those nature sounds each night for him. by the time the tape ends, he's asleep. He also sleeps with a weight blanket. even on a hot summer day. he likes/craves the weight on him. have you tried that? you can make one yourself. Its a blanket with pockets filled with rice or sand and sewed closed. &n bsp; RUTHIE BRYAN DOLEZAL <DOLEZAL123@...> wrote: I completely agree; personally, we have to have a referral (we are in Iowa, do not know if that matters or not or if it is the place you contact) which was given to us by the psychiatrist that diagnosed our boys; to the OT; if we want to go back again since we completed the 'then suggested' series of sessions, we do have to get a referral; again, I would like to think, that since you already have the AS diagnosis, you should be able to get a referral from a physician or whomever diagnosed you, and quickly. In the mean time, do you see some sensory things with your child? What about spinning on a tire swing? A 'chewy' toy (can be as simple as fish tank tubing, cut and put on a keychain / attach to pants loop--can even use in class); Listening to music? HARD TOUCH? Brushing? Do you have anyone at school (I WOULD ASK) that is trained in sensory needs? Ask to see that person, and ask if they can help you; you may find out there are a few small things that can be done in the classroom by the teacher (again, I am not sure your child's age) to make your child's day go much better--Carol Kranowitz is a great author / person to listen to with issues about sensory stuff (If our six year old's sensory needs are met, our lives go soooooo much better. We also CURRENT are using four PURE lavender drops each night on our six year old's scalp (so it is 'stuck to him') and then I message his head-- right now, to help him relax and go to sleep; he will be out in 10 minutes---without, he can be up until midnight or later (after us putting him in bed at 8---he stays, just cannot go to sleep). I also brush his arms, legs, back; he's out like a light. Good luck, dear; wish we could help more but hope this helps. Hang in there, and remain as calm as possible, pick your battles, and know help is on the way; if there are specific questions you have or need advice on how to handle a specific issue, this sight has appeared to be a great place to get some suggestions, so just ask! Ruthie & Re: ( ) PLEASE HELP ME Alyssa, How old is your son? Mine is 4 and I have him seen by a Speech and Occupational Therapist. I firstly had him seen by a neurologist that is where I would start they can lead you to the services he will need to help him. Also you can speak to them about the school situation.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Thank you for the advise.....I WILL TRY BOTH TONIGHT WITH HIM! We have used the tapes with the older son; this one, gets up and down and turns it on and off and URGH!!!!...so, we have told him no music right now.....we will TRY again tonight!! We have not done the weighted blankets, but we could try that--I make special blankets for my kids and can surely make one into that today; I do have the 'tube thing' someone posted about last night for him to snuggle in--he does not sleep in it but plays with it, doing sensory things I learned from Carol Kranowitz's speaking this summer; we also do have a special huggy chair (I won it at a conference this summer)---he would sneak that to bed and try to sleep in it for a few days---now he does not use it day OR night. ----seems things last a short period for us so we are always changing it up. He just refused to relax and LET HIMSELF GO TO SLEEP---we have threatened to clean out a closet and put just his bed in it---he wants to continue playing and doing things THAT IS THE FRUSTRATING THING TO US---and we do a 1 hour wrap up for bed----clean up, meds, bedtime snack---first---jammies, baths, set out outfits for the next day, etc.----seems to not matter but the lavender is just something else we are trying that is working the past couple weeks!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Ruthie, My son AS is 10 and still has sleeping problems. He can sleep for a week or two all night. but noise bothers him. Like, if he hears the refrigerator making noise, like the ice tray filling up, or the air vent fan turning on. And after going all summer without using the heat. When we do turn the heat back on and he hears the sound of the water going through the running boards, that wakes him. he hears everything at night. he hears the night animals outside as well. Sometimes all these sounds on the same night bother him so much he wants to sleep in my bed. I don't let him only because "I can't sleep" with him. He moves a lot and pulls my hair in his sleep. So, I walk him back to his room, but on a night like this one. He'll be right back in my room, and keep asking me if he can sleep with me. Now, we both are up the whole night. In the morning, I'm so very tired and he's wide awake, as if he had a full nights sleep. looking at him you would never know he was up at least 6 times during the night. I still don't know why sometimes he sleeps right through the night and others he's up. He says its the noise, but those noises are here every night. On the days that he has lots of physcial sports to do with lots or running, swimming, or outdoors, He does sleep better. but the rest of us are asleep before our heads hit the pillow. LOL. He just doesn't feel the same tiredness as us. He can stay in a pool for hours, swimming underwater, diving, doing laps, standing on his hands and then I will notice all the other children are out and he is still swimming. I have to tell him several times to come out to eat. On a night like that, I would think he would sleep late, but he is up a 6am.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 We do sound like we are living together!!!LOL......My 13 year old has this problem, too, and we know this may be 'wacked' but it is true for us---it does have something to do with when the full moon is with him, behaviors and all----he told the psychiatrist he wanted a sleeping med, and he did change his meds this last time, so he takes his buspar and risperdahl again after school and before bed, rather than just every 12 hours; it is working sooooo far! But, at 13, he cannot stand it. While there may be a reason the AS kids are up all night, I am sure there is; my husband and I have to admit that our 6 year old does NOT look great when he is up and down / refuses to go to bed, and looks like a train hit him / then acts out all day long---like the night we had Friday-Saturday night actually. If we do things to calm him before bed, he goes right to sleep; if we do not, he will just keep on goin' like the energizer bunny-----we really think it is because he will NOT LET HIM SELF LAY THERE AND GO TO SLEEP---who can sleep playing!! He has found markers and gotten up at 7 am as the green giant (head to toe in green)----entertains himself, yes, but URGH!!!!------ Does your child do meds to help him sleep? Is there such a thing?? We are thinking that he may need something else introduced (I know that meds are not the only answer...but they do seem to help mine, as long as we change it up all the time)....as we have started having some different behaviors, different melt downs, but he is not 5 anymore---but 6 1/2 and starting to be more grown up now (if you will).....seems he's even more easily frustrated than he used to be, etc. Ruthie Re: ( ) PLEASE HELP ME Alyssa, How old is your son?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ruthie, I don't give my son meds for anything except if needed when he is sick. but I do know some people see Hugh improvements with meds. As for us, what helps my son sleep is keeping him so very busy with active sports/swimming/biking etc.... I do know if you don't get enough sleep that can cause a person to become moody. would your son be interested in playing soccer? or an active sport? Maybe Twa kwan Do? Now that's a work out. I wonder if he would love that. Most schools would let you try a few free lessons to see if your child would like it before you signed up. does this sound like something you child would be interested in? When my kids went, they learned lots and they loved it.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ruthie, if doing sports at the school, yes, I have to pay for it. Soccer, softball, football all have a fee... But what I meant was, the twa kwan do schools will let you try a few classes for free to see if your child likes 'karate'. its a type of karate, and is awesome for our children. because they do something like an obstacle course, teaching kicking & punching and exercise, sparing with others, explaining about bulling, getting rewards by promoting to a next level belt. their goal is to make it to black belt. Some instructors look at report cards as well. it builds up self esteem too. I wonder if you would be interested in watching a class. Make sure its a Twa Kwan Do class. I found this type of lesson the most interesting form of karate for our children. I've also see kids with AD/HD benefit as well. It takes a while to reach your black belt, so being in the same school for a long time, your children builds a relationship with other children, same with the adults while waiting. Some schools give discounts with siblings. I hope you find a twa kwan do school near you, I bet your boys would love it. If you do check one out, let me know what you think? Rose RUTHIE BRYAN DOLEZAL <DOLEZAL123@...> wrote: Well, our boys are all three very active but with Aspergers, they are very anti-social if they can be, so our 6 year old DID sports this spring and summer as long as his four year old brother was on the team. He struggled, but sucked his shirt and played; most parents did not act like he was doing anything out of the ordinary but he had a blast. What do you mean the school would let them do it free a few times? Are sports a charge at your school? Or, what do you mean?? Or, is it, that, outside of school, the school will pay for it as part of an accommodation? Thanks Ruthie Re: ( ) PLEASE HELP ME Alyssa, How old is your son?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 We probably should look in to that, Rose---we have done Ty Kwan Do before with our now 13 year old but not the other AS son; he loved it but does not want anything else to do right now (or, that is what he says)....I do agree it is a great program though/ we did it to calm some behaviors and issues at that time, and it did work; our 13 year is especially good whenever he is NOT with us!!! We can enter the room, and he becomes a totally different kid (that is KIDS in general but he way magnifies it)....the instructors LOVED him, and he actually was in a parade with them and everything---it really did help; and I will discuss this idea tonight actually.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ruthie, I brought that up because I was wondering how your son would sleep doing all that workout. My son went on Mon, Wed, & Sat. when he stayed for just the 1 hr workout. He wasn't tired at all. so on the days I mentioned "he" wanted to stay longer. so he stayed for the 5-6pm class & the 7-8pm class. He wanted to stay for the 8-9pm but with a 30 minute travel time and school the next day. that was too late. but working out from 5-8pm. He slept very good. I hope this works well for you too. that you all can get a good night sleep.
