In this video, I’m back with Kelsey General discussing the top sleep questions about kids with autism and how to soothe children with night terrors. Night terrors can be extremely common for children with autism. They can happen at the same time every night or sporadically and lead to long wake ups and an inconsolable child.

For Kelsey, when her son Lincoln was having Night Terrors, she was at a loss for anything to snap him out of his distress and she finally found a song that would work to snap him out and get him back to sleep. For other children who may be experiencing a night terror at the same time every night, having the parent wake the child 10 minutes before it usually occurs can help break the cycle and prevent night terrors in the future.

Dr. Mary Barbera. I fell into the autism world as an autism mom in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas, was diagnosed with autism. Since then, she became a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author of The Verbal Behavior Approach. Since 2015, she’s created 3 autism online courses based on applied behavior analysis for professionals and "gung-ho" parents.
