[quote=Anonymous] I have two kids, including one with ADHD/ASD, who loved being read to. I did not do it on school nights. I read to them extensively on vacations, however, and read Harry Potters, The Hobbit, The Chronicles of Narnia, Winnie the Pooh, so many books (all my British favorites, really) over a period of years. My children are both bookworms and have excellent vocab and reading comprehension. Said ADHD/ASD kid tests in the 99th percentile in verbal cognitive portions of the WISC. But there are limits to what I can give if I want to be able to give consistently, so no, there was no bedtime reading every night in our house. If this is for soothing routines, and you're fatigued, perhaps they can listen to an audiobook, or music, or hug you tightly for a few minutes while you chat or relax together. My neurotypical kid needs me to hug her for a few minutes before lights out.[/quote]
