[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 474892, member: 13003"] Sleep and sensory issues... try what you can, ask what he thinks... could be the PJs, for example, rather than the sheets... or the shape of the pillow. Occupational Therapist (OT) can help sort through sensory stuff... but you have to get there first. Sheets... there's rough cotton (cheap sheets), high-end cotton, satin, flannel... and probably more (don't bother with silk... too expensive to just "try"!). There's also too hot, too cold, and "can't keep the blankets on". For this last one, you could try a sleeping bag instead... so the bedding rolls with the kid. Too dark - get a really dim night-light, as too much light is also a problem... [I]some[/I] of the LED ones just give a bit of a glow - green or blue, most often that I've seen. It can be "too dark" and "too light" at the same time... as in, need light-blocking curtains because daylight is too strong, but blocking it all out is too dark, so... Yes, its a process. Keep trying every door you can! [/QUOTE]
