Early Tuesday

Sleep issues. Started using melatonin which ended bedtime battles but has caused several nights of 3 or 4 am waking. I would rather fight the bedtime battles because I don’t enjoy waking up in the wee hours of the morning 😳

@Andrea Jones thank you for that suggestion. I will try it!

How can I get my child to eat more of a variety of foods? Right now all she wants is pizza and will go hungry if she doesn’t get it. She has dropped a few foods that she would previously eat and I am worried.

My child’s behavior has worsened in the last few weeks. Arguing, defiance, running from us, not listening, yelling, etc. She has also reverted back to pooping in her pants and gets extremely upset about being asked to poop in the toilet. Nothing has changed in our lives so I don’t understand where this is coming from and I don’t know what to do about it.

I made it through but the next day was hard because it hit me that day that I no longer have my daughter and raising her autistic child has been very difficult and stressful.
