[quote=Anonymous]Totally agree with the PP. For us, it happened with DS (no ASD but other SNs) when he was about 2.5 and lasted for @3 months. Consulted all our specialists including the dev ped. The advice we got was that sleep issues are really challenging and we should continue to follow excellent sleep hygiene (including him sleeping in his own bed). Just as I was about to schedule an appointment with a sleep specialist and do the study, the behaviors stopped. It was stunning. That was 8 years ago and it's still vivid in my mind. As an aside, I'm now entering menopause and having some similar behaviors. I act out in my sleep and I have no memory of it. This includes talking to my DH or flailing around or having a flight/fight response (like jumping out of bed and trying to smash/hit whatever is trying to get me). Sometimes I can remember the dream I'm having (it's very lifelike) most times I can't.[/quote]
