A Single Mom’s Take on Autism and Sleep Issues

In my opinion, insomnia is probably one of the most challenging aspects of parenting a child with autism. It’s very common for kids on the spectrum to experience difficulties with sleep. Luckily for us, Kaidale is on the more mild to moderate end of that struggle. However, it’s still hard when he pulls the occasional all nighter. My motto is, just control what you can in life and try not to feel to defeated with what you can’t. I’ve tried really hard lately to take control over other aspects of my life, such as my physical health and maintaining regular work outs. I think by being in better physical shape, I feel a lot better, I have more energy, and it just helps me to power through some of those rough sleepless nights.
