My...I could have totally written this post tonight. My 6yr old son is autistic and has little functional language. Tonight we can only assume that he had a headache. He woke up every few minutes screaming, banging his head and biting himself. There is something completely disturbing about seeing your own child hurt himself. <br />We have had sleep issues here too. They have thankfully been resolved 99% of the time with a small dose of melatonin. That was a miracle in our house. Our good days are really good, and our bad days are REALLY bad. No one understands how it is to live with someone so affected by autism. Hope you are having better days soon.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381893637886239136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890252727529257852.post-1493475773304460732010-03-21T22:18:49.795-07:002010-03-21T22:18:49.795-07:00Rob H.: thank you for the poignant portrait of wha...<i>Rob H.</i>: thank you for the poignant portrait of what it is to live with a child who has autism.

The screaming at bedtime brought back memories of my now 4 year old who has aspergers. At 18 months he started screaming and running back and forth in his room about half an hour after putting him to bed. It would go on for hours and of course at the time I didn't realize he was autistic but thanks to having an older son who is as well, I new something wasn't right. It did edventually pass though so I offer that same hope for you. Is there no services in your area where you live that could offer some type of respite care? I wish you luck and love your posts. Remember how amazing you are, and know that your son in time will appreciate all you are doing.<br />take carechantel aka the6packmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11996587359840991616noreply@blogger.com
