Older Aspergers Syndrome More Condition_symptoms Do Children With Aspergers Syndrome Suffer From More Nightmares Than The Average Child?

Do children with Aspergers Syndrome suffer from more nightmares than the average child? - older aspergers syndrome more condition_symptoms

I have a 5-year-old child who received a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome. He takes melatonin to help you sleep, wake up, but fairly regularly throughout the night, complained of "Bad Dreams" or "nightmares".

The nightmares are not necessarily a train "of autism or Asperger's syndrome as such. There has been research that indicates that children with Asperger's Syndrome, contrary to suffer from nightmares or night terrors. But this was supported by the research, stating that Children with Asperger syndrome suffer from higher levels of stress and anxiety, therefore nightmares.

Something in your child's life has recently changed, or is it something that may have caused him nightmares for the new school, it's back to school, new siblings .....? Adverse changes in the life of a child often leads to nightmares.

For melatonin, there was some discussion about whether this type of children in general. There is clear evidence to help the children to sleep, although many studies have found that (side effects in children even when the nightmare is not a member). The jury will be more or less use of IT - but it's certainly effective!

Children of all ages can also directly under the nightmare "develop". II worked with children in the coming years through a "phase" of the nightmares I suffered as a child probably go for 2-3 months, waking up screaming! I do not think there any reason behind it ...... Who knows?

I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and not as bad as the nightmares of a child. You should check the medication - that is the cause might be.

My son-in does not work.

Google for "side effects of melatonin"

He gave this
Side effects of melatonin to daytime sleepiness, dizziness, headache and abdominal pain. Confusion, nightmares, sleepwalking or are also possible.

Now it should say a brochure with drugs. Contact your doctor. You have an Internet connection. Why not ask your doctor? Certainly, if the nightmares do not start until I melanin, there is the possibility of a connection?

Return to your doctor. Drugs or stop your child.

Melatonin may actually cause nightmares in some adults.

My brother has Asperger's and I do not remember nightmares. I do not know if this is typical.

I think melatonin give nightmares. I melatonin and gave me strange hallucinations and strange dreams.

My son is like a sleepwalker, and many, but rarely has nightmares.

I do not know that the information was collected in nightmares and autism, but I know that sleep disorders and sleep deprivation are common in autism. My little brother has trouble sleeping, but can not tell us whether you have had a nightmare or not. Some mornings he wakes up in a terrible state of mind as possible.

Some children tend to have more problems than others. I do not like has nothing to do with it. My ten years old with Asperger's nightmares all the time and my twelve years had never worked, but I spoke with doctors who say it is a coincidence. Children have an active imagination, nightmares, so it may be why your child has a lot of them.

My ASPI is 14, and I can not say I've noticed that you have bad dreams about their normal siblings. This may depend on the girl.

My son (9) was recently diagnosed with AS. When I was young, I'd wake up in cold sweat, having nightmares. I think it has much to do with children, because they are sometimes hard to separate reality and fantasy. Your dream may be very intense and frightening.

I never wake up with one of his nightmares have run their course and it will be better. Waking the child can be a nightmare cause more damage than the terror itself
So make sure when he wakes up, give her a hug and told him that he is home and he is sure that you are there when you need it.

Good Luck
