I desperately want to go to sleep but my youngest with #Autism can't sleep tonight

Gavin's the only one of the three boys who was able to fall asleep tonight. Elliott finally crashed about 11:00 pm and was really frustrated because he was tired but couldn't sleep.

Then of course there's Emmett. It's currently about 1:00 am and he's still not able to sleep.

These kids have had a really challenging week because there's been a great deal of change and kids on the Autism Spectrum tend to *not *do so well with change.

I'm laying in bed trying to help Emmett fall asleep and he's currently climbing the headboard like a little spidermonkey...

We do a lot with music in this house and so I'm playing this song on repeat right now, hoping it will sorta calm him down.. I happen to love this song and used to sing it to him when he was little.

I just want to get some sleep and I'm not sure that it's going to happen tonight. I'm not going to give up just yet. 
