😴Sleep Disorders in Children with ASD/ASD😴 What can we do to improve this crucial area in the vital development of young children? Don't miss this new video where I discuss this topic from my experience and contact with other professionals. We know that many families find themselves in a difficult situation on a daily basis when their children experience sleep disturbances, whether it's because they have trouble falling asleep, wake up during the night, don't want to sleep alone…
⏰Establishing daily routines and rituals will help positively, but we must keep in mind the impact of daily life, any unexpected events, aversive situations…the impact of the entire context in general. If the situation persists over time, we should contact our primary care physician so they can perform the appropriate medical tests and rule out any underlying pathologies before trying pharmacological solutions or other substances of any kind.
⏰It's common to find professionals who think that everything is due to a lack of routines, but nothing could be further from the truth. Remember that every child is unique, and that a deficiency or excess of natural brain chemicals, sensory processing disorders, anxiety, etc., can all contribute to the development of sleep disorders. We must ALWAYS gather as much information as possible about the situation, assess the circumstances, and rule out pathologies related to this type of disorder. Sometimes the lack of routines (or apparent lack) is just the tip of a very large iceberg with many facets.
We work from a place of reflection and respect, seeking the most appropriate solution for each child; no method is ever universal.
