[QUOTE="krittengirl, post: 330248, member: 8707"] To give a little more background to clarify: All my children are full biological siblings 13yr old daughter Aspergers, Adhd, has received PT, Occupational Therapist (OT), speech, Counseling, & medications and seems to be doing better the older she gets 11yr old daughter -mild ADD, bed wetting issues, classic airhead type:happy:, fairly typical for age 7yr old daughter -the one i wrote about -I forgot to mention that she does have bed wetting issues and fine motor skills deficiencies (about to begin Occupational Therapy to address the motor skills issues) 6yr old son -very bright, well adjusted, and social - no concerns We do have sleep apnea that runs in our family, but my daughter has not exhibited any symptoms of this. I don't think that her trouble waking is due to lack of sleep/rest because it does not matter if she sleeps for 8 hours or 12 hours, she still has the same trouble waking & being tired.
