Autism & Anxiety

Supporting your Neurodivergent Child's Sleep Journey

Raising a neurodivergent child or a child with additional needs comes with unique challenges - especially when sleep becomes a nightly struggle. If bedtime feels like a constant battle, you're not alone. Sleep difficulties don't just affect your child, they impact the entire family.

Did you know that up to 80% of autistic children experience sleep issues? This isn't due to anything you've done 'wrong' as a parent - it's simply a common challenge many families face.

Quality sleep is crucial for brain development, emotional regulation, social skills, and overall well-being. Sleep deprivation isn't something you have to accept for yourself or your child. By implementing the right strategies, we can create an environment where your child can get the restful sleep they need to thrive.

Autism and anxiety often go hand in hand, making sleep disturbances even more complex. The key to better sleep isn't traditional sleep training-it's about creating personalised, effective solutions that reduce anxiety and support your child's specific needs. That's where expert guidance can make all the difference.
