I finally get Binky to sleep, it is wonderful, the other day he was asleep at 8:30pm and slept all night. Now, Inky is making an appearance at midnight I am not sure why, he is wide-awake and stays up until 2:30-3:30am. He only has two requests milk and corn chips and wants me to watch Disney channel in his chair, I guess that is three but its 2:30am and I am barely awake. I am in a funny position, do I go the same route as I did with Binky, I know that children with Autism have a LOT of problem sleeping and Binky is the KING! Inky, is taking a very nice role and next in line to the throne. I ask again, do I do all the same steps I did with Binky or do I talk to Dr. Good, and just skip ahead? to what I know is probably true, that Inky is going to have the same issues, with sleep but he does not have the Autism. He passed ADOS, so for right now we are saying he does not have Autism. I really need him to go to sleep; it would be nice not to have four cups of very strong coffee just to get through the day. Melatonin was a big fail, I even got some good stuff from Whole Foods. Inky is a pig and eats lots of food. This is the life.
This is about the wondeful adventures of Binky who has Autism and Inky who is his younger brother and mortal enemy and best friend. We happily live with Autism but we are not always happy. This life is a struggle and a blessing. I hope you will share in our adventure.
