Have you got a good team helping? They may actually be able to help with getting a good routine working that suits you guys and your little girl.
Have you tried a weighted blanket for bedtime?
We are thinking of trying one for our daughter
Thank you so very much! Every thing you said happens to us and it takes about 0.5 seconds for a meltdown we put her to bed at 6:30 usually but we just can't pick it we are so over the place
We find routine to be super important for our eldest, outside of the routine or if we miss any part then she doesn't cope well.
I do dinner early ( she's a super slow eater), shower at 5:15, she watches her shows then till 6, teeth then when her dad gets home (usually close to 6:30) we do books, toilet, then typical bed routine stuff for her and bed at 7. We make sure everything is in place before bed otherwise we head for a meltdown.
It still takes her a while to unwind most nights.
We also find using a noise free star projector to be really helpful, as she can stare at the lights on the walls.
If you don't have one it may help? If your daughter is sensitive to sounds like mine then you may find the lights that play music have the potential to cause more issues.
Hope that helps X
My sister is an autism Mum, she writes a blog called James’ Health Journey, she is based in Wollongong NSW. Look her up on Facebook and Instagram and there will be a link to her blog and her magazine articles on autism
