[quote=Anonymous]Big hugs, OP!

We didn't have to deal with tantrums or school refusal, but my kid with sleep issues, severe inattentive ADHD and low processing speed (also autism and various learning disabilities) just could not do anything for himself in the morning. I had to drag him out of bed every morning, he couldn't eat much and if he did, it took ages, and we were always late to school. Every day of elementary, middle and high school.

It was hard to get him to sleep at night, which meant it was really hard to get him to wake up. He was sleep deprived. High school start times were the worst.

I am so glad that in college I didn't have to deal with him. He could essentially roll out of bed and attend class. He had weeks were he couldn't sleep correctly and was awake at night and slept during the day (and missed class, of course).

Anyway. It's a work in progress. I just hope he doesn't get fired from jobs if he's tardy in the morning. Right now he's home for the summer and has a fairly healthy sleep schedule.

Best of luck.
