[quote=Anonymous]Why isn't he getting the message that when you're asleep, he must not wake you up unless it's a life-threatening emergency? Are you being clear and firm, or are you being subtle and "nice" about it? If he's on the autistic spectrum, you need to state clearly and repeatedly what the rules are, and he'll get it. You will always have to be very clear about procedure. Step one: Before speaking, pause and see if I am asleep. Step two: Outline acceptable emergencies. If not one of these, do not speak to me or shake me, or wake me. I need sleep for my health. I wonder why he wasn't taught this. We normally teach kids this kind of stuff along the way, even if they're not on the spectrum. If he's not on the spectrum, but is on the needy, low-boundary, and self-absorbed side, that's actually tougher. [/quote]
