Autism Nighttime Routine

  • Abbie's nightime routine isn't all that different from everybody else"s except she is learning life skills during hers.
    It would be so much easier in the moment to just do everything for my daughter that she struggles with but it will be harder for her and for us later on in life. We use these daily living experiences to teach her the life skills she needs to grow and thrive. Not every night looks like this. Sometimes she just falls asleep wherever she's at and we get her to her room doing our best not to wake her up too much. This is an ideal night routine.

    I'm hope nobody's giving you a hard time about the doorknob.

They had the hardest time keeping him in his room at night and he would wander and get into everything. It was ridiculous that they gave them a hard time.

      Motion sensor alarms would be better. Kids have reasons for wanting to leave. Locking someone up against their will isn’t right, especially if they have disabilities. I myself have autism and I left my room all the time at night when I was little because I was extremely scared of darkness. If my parents had reversed the locks and just kept me in there against my will, I would have been forced to remain with the thing I feared and I would have been traumatized.

      There are so many misconceptions about autism. I had no idea what it was until Mon son was diagnosed at 3. It was scary and took a huge toll on my marriage bc I didn't have the love and support. Once my husband accepted it, it made things better. I still do research bc theres so much to know. Not every child has the same symptoms.
      Best advice is if you feel like something is wrong, go with your gut. If a doctor tells you everything is fine, see another one. You know your child/children better than anyone so don't feel discouraged with one doctor. That happened to me. I knew there was something was wrong. I switched my sons doctor and he's great.

He was always a very picky eater and had VERY few items he would eat. The few things he would eat were very plain average things. Now at almost 18 he enjoys spicy chicken sandwiches, bbq chips, grilled burgers, chick fil a mac n cheese, and so much more.

    I have a autism, trying to sleep is the hardest thing for me.
    Even at age of 22 I still struggle with washing my hiar,
    I still need assistance with few minor stuff
    And double checking things for me, like see if I have turned the taps off or the stove and or oven.
    ;P I have flooded the house one or two meny times.
