[quote=Anonymous]There's nothing here that is suggestive of stimming behavior.  It sounds like he's in a  state between consciousness and sleep and is doing some pre-sleep autonomic behaviors.  If you are concerned, ask for a sleep study.  But kids move around a lot in their sleep and while falling asleep and really so do a lot of adults.

The best advice I can give you as a mom of both SN and NT kids is --  he should be sleeping in his own bed.  He's disturbing you.  His behavior during the day is not really all that uncommon and I wouldn't call it special needs.  Work on sleep training him.  Which I would say means taking him back to his bedroom when he gets in bed with you, perhaps doing a sticker chart, sitting down with him during the day and letting him know that he's a big boy and he's expected to stay in his own bed and that if he does it for a whole week, he can have "Toy" that he really wants.  This is an issue that you have to work on.  It happens a lot with kids his age.[/quote]
