[QUOTE="Lillyth, post: 198672, member: 5975"] I know this isn't the question you asked, but have you considered your daughter may be Aspie? The goodnight rituals sound [I]very[/I] Aspie-ish. If my son comes out to go to the bathroom after he's been tucked in it's the same words ALL over again. No matter how many times it happens. Also, I know trouble sleeping is common among Aspies. I say if your gut tells you "no", then listen to it. Funny enough, as anti-medications as I am, the day we went in to meet with our psychiatrist, my guy told me to actually consder the drugs, and I did. I know it's hard, but I would say for sure wait to medicate her until you have a diagnosis, but that's just me. I would think you would want to make sure you are treating the right thing. In the book "Freaks, Geeks, and Asperger's Syndrome" the author, Luke Jackson, offers a few pages of sleep aid options for Aspies, which may work for your daughter, even if she is not Aspie. I might be worth a try. [/QUOTE]
