[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 510138, member: 3184"] I think part of what confuses and befuddles me is that this has NEVER been a problem before. He has been a great sleeper, and I was quite spoiled by it. This all started after he came home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I will try the "I will sit with you but not sleep with you" I don't want to tell him how long I will be there, as then he will fixate on that and what time it is and he will never sleep. He goes to sleep quickly, so I will sit there untill he goes to sleep and hope I can stay awake that long, I have a hard time staying awake in a dark room after 7pm, lol. I think some of this is based on his fear/anxiety that I will send him back to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I am trying to get through to him how hard it was for me to have him there, and that I did not enjoy it. Well, maybe for the first week, but after that? I got tired of the driving. Terri, he is on the spectrum, the Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified diagnosis places him there, and the testing we had firmly supports it. [/QUOTE]
