[quote=Anonymous]My son is similar. Has not been diagnosed with ADHD (has AS) but is fidgety, impulsive, and attention flags, esp. when things are too hard or too boring. Also a poor sleeper. Exercise might help give him energy (release nervous energy, create healthy energy) and I would make sure you are offering enough hydration. My son does not pay enough attention to body cues so I need to prompt him to drink more water. You can try rewards to motivate him to sleep better--but overall sleep is difficult. Someone at a healthfood store just gave me a talk about making sure I offer enough protein in the a.m. and throughout the day. These guys go through a lot of fuel so maybe make sure he's getting more than faster burning foods. No chocolate (except occasional treats) or other sources of caffeine of course.[/quote]
