Hi and welcome
Sorry your son isn't sleeping have you discussed this with health visitor or gp
We have a parents and carers section may have some tips on there
My son was good sleeper used yo put him down awake with his TV on timer and he just dropped off in his own time
I know its not everyone's choice to let them have tv on maybe some background music
Good luck hope you get it sorted -
Welcome to the community @stacey_riley Thanks for joining.
I'm sorry to hear that your son doesn't sleep very well. As Janer1967 mentioned, we have a parents and carers category. I've moved your post in there, and renamed it slightly so that other parents can find it more easily.
You may also want to check out Scope's Sleep Right service. The service is available to families with disabled children aged:- 2 to 18 in London and Leeds
- 4 to 18 in Peterborough
- 2 to 19 in Northamptonshire

Yeah I have spoken with health Vistor and she told me about scope I’ve literally tried everything I’m out of ideas he used be such good sleeper until he come out of he’s cot but it’s getting out of control now ?
thank you for sharing my post I have actually just filled out form for the sleep right just waiting for someone to contact me and hopefully get some help and advice I’m single mum and I’m absolutely drained out with the no sleep but I don’t know what else to do. -
Thank you for the links I’m gonna have look on them now appreciate all the help and support thank you again xx

It's great to hear you've applied for Sleep Right @stacey_riley I can only imagine how tiring it must be. You're doing a fantastic job.
Do you mind me asking whether your son has any sort of diagnosis? -
@Tori_Scope
yeah it’s very exhausting I just wanna try get him as much help as I can to resolve this and he hasn’t got diagnosis as yet but he’s highly likely got autism and genetic disorder we are awaiting assessment for autism and he’s gonna see consultant at GOSH in may -
Of course @stacey_riley. You're free to vent and ask for advice here any time you need to.
Some of Scope's other family services may be of help if you haven't looked into them already, such as Navigate or Parents Connect. -
Just wanted to wish you a warm welcome to the community @stacey_riley
