    Hello @Bamsmam

    Welcome to the community, thank you for introducing yourself and I hope you had a nice bank holiday weekend.

    Sleep can certainly be a tough area to navigate for parents of young children, because of course if your child isn't sleeping well that means that you likely won't be either so it impacts all of you.

    Scope has a Sleep Right service that you might be interested in accessing and finding out more about, which you can do here. They have also released a series of useful podcasts that are all free and available to listen to through this page.

    I'd also recommend reading about our other family services which include Parents Connect and Navigate, both of which can be there to support parents of disabled children.

    I hope you enjoy taking part in the community, please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Many of our members are parents so you're certainly in an understanding place :) 

    How is the diagnosis journey for your child going?

    Hello @Bamsmam. Welcome to Scope's forum. It is great to see you have joined us.

    Thanks for telling us a little bit about what is going on for you at the moment. It sounds really difficult that you are waiting for a diagnosis of ASD for your son and struggling with keeping him asleep.

    I can see that our community has already provided you with practical support. I just wanted to check in with you to ask you how you are feeling. I would like to give you the space to explore this if you would like to tell us more.

    Is there anything, in particular, you would like to discuss or any questions you have that we might be able to support you with? Please take care for now and I will look forward to hopefully hearing from you again soon  :)
