Sleeping Problems in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Yeah describe the behaviors that surface AFTER vaccine injury, but ignore the vaccine injury.

For my child, his sleep issues isn't related to emotional and behavioral problems as much as it is sensory and a brain that never shuts off. His sleep disorder was present from birth, however what baby sleeps? Mine never did, and without medication he never will. And he had no vaccines at birth. We did a sleep study, and he has 2 sleep disorders, sleep onset and sustained sleep. My child has memories from before he was 1 years old that he can recall. His brain was working at a very young age and not many can remember the things he can. When the sun went down, it didn't matter how many lights were on, my child reacted. He also reacts to day light savings, every single year. As a new born, he reacted and over reacted to his surroundings and noises yet he lack the ability to be startled by a person.

I think some studies asumme emotional and behavioral contributes to sleep disorders, but I think they totally miss the obvious about the core of autism that would be a more stronger cause.

Autism is directly related to vaccines. The sleep problems that are observed within autism, is another facet of ongoing inflammation within brain. For those who work with autism: The behavior is much different in the morning than at night. Night being the worse. Ofcourse there are so many stupids experts that will ignore this issue and just relate it back to behaviors

Speaking only for my child, which you can not do yourself, my child's autism is not directly related to vaccines, nor does my child have brain inflammation. My sons behavior was never worse at night. Day time was always worse and more a struggle for him. When my son started to talk, he had a horrible stutter. Only late at night was this thought process better, he didn't stutter either. Those with autism who have sleep issues is more due to not being able to shut down thinking and wanting to do things. Hello. That's what caused my sons stutter, he could 'think' about multiple things all running at the same time. Vaccines and inflammation did not cause that.

Thank Pharma owners, CEO'S, FDA, CDC and mainstream medicine. They cause autism and then don't have the decency to admit it or work toward solving it or stopping it.

I have a 9 year old son with severe autism, Jacob usually sleeps for only a few hours. he also has nightmares. We have to use melitonin to help him sleep. we cant use other medications because he has serous reactions to them.

I also care for my sister who also has autism and she too has sleep issues where she cant sleep and when she does she will wake up multiple time a night. I have a few friend o the spectrum as well who have simular issues. I often hear other parents say "most babies eventually learn to sleep through the night by the age of 1 or so but mine never did,"

Speaking for my child only, he doesn't have the normal 'shut offs' as other people do, or messages telling his body it needs something. His body doesn't sense when it's tired and because his mind is always multi tasking many different things, he just doesn't know how to shut it off, which if he did, he might be able to sleep. This also goes for others things as well, such as being hungry. Those brian messages could very well be there, but my son with autism just might be interpreting them differently as to it's meaning.

Melatonin is known for causing serious nightmares, plus there is really no good studies on long term use of this hormone for children. My sons melatonin levels are not abnormal, and few parents test those levels prior to using an over the counter hormone for sleep. My son, who also was diagnosed severe autism, non verbal, only slept no more than 2 hours in a 24 hour period. He will not sleep without medication, and we've tried a few before we found the right one. I have quite a few friends whose children with autism never had sleep problems at all. I also know typical kids who also have severe sleep issues.

My son had sleep issues till we gave him secretin. That night for the first time he slept normally and all night. He hasn't woke in the night now for something like 15 years. And he doesn't wander.
