[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 550872"] MY anxiety is finally letting up. It was bad, pounding heart and painful stomach. Mine stemmed from the "what ifs" running rampant in my head because of a new event being added to our family routine and my kids' response to it and how I was going to "prepare" them for the huge change (see my thread about anxiety). Since it is starting to let up, I can only assume it's because my plan "worked" last night. As for the food issues, difficult child 1 has HUGE "obsessions" that do change ....... out of the blue ........ after a VERY long period that is unpredictable. Maybe it's time to brainstorm THEIR ideas and make sure to keep that stuff on hand. Even though they are on the spectrum, their "routines" can change so you need to be prepared. Sounds like that might be where you're at. Are they going to bed early enough at night? Sounds like that might also need to be adjusted. If they are tired earlier, you'll HAVE to keep them awake to get them to sleep. It sounds like their sleeping patterns are out of whack and need to be worked back into place. It WILL take some effort on your part and I know how hard and painful it can be but they can't do it on their own. Good luck and {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} [/QUOTE]
