[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 254892, member: 1233"] It sounds like the docs don't understand the problem. They are using a common technique on an uncommon child. Have they suggested any medications to help induce sleep? maybe a couple of weeks of a good sleep medication to get him to sleep at a set time would help his body establish a sleep pattern? Is his behavior affected by the sleep pattern? Is he more or less likely to meltdown if he gets less sleep? Or more sleep? Or does it matter? If it doesn't matter, it seems like a waste of time and effort. (Actually it already seems like a waste of time because he is not motivated by their little charts. The chart system is more complicated than he can handle. AND he already goes to bed.) When he is up late what does he do? Is he wandering all over the house? Leaving the house? Reading or playing quietly in his room? Jumping on the furniture? I just wonder why the emphasis on this if getting him to bed and up in the am is not difficult? [/QUOTE]
