[QUOTE="Autismkids, post: 334189, member: 8756"] I forgot to add a few things- I personally wouldn't (and don't) worry about the taking the father role in your son. My little man slept in my bed for quite some time. My daughter slept with me from birth until 7, but since she's a girl it didn't seem weird to anyone else. Your siggie says you suspect aspie- I have not yet come across a parent with an autistic child that didn't deal with big sleep issues. It seems like autistic kids don't need as much sleep or just are not able to sleep in one long stretch like a typical kid. I have 2 here. Thankfully I'm a morning person. So when my son goes through his 3-5am waking stage, I'm good to go. My rule is 4:30. I will not get up before then. My daughter will sometimes get up between 1-2 and go watch TV. Once in a blue mood she'll fall back asleep, but for the most part, she's hopping on my bed at 4:31! My son got up once at 3:00am and decided to give the ferrets a bath in the toilet! LOL. When I go to bed, I set up a quiet morning activity in the livingroom as well as a sippy cup of strawberry milk, and a bowl of dry cereal in the fridge. If ds gets up before the allowed time, he's on his own (my apartment is autistic kid safe- locks and alarms everywhere). [/QUOTE]
