I wasn't sure where to post but this seems the closest. He has not been ID as 2E but has some anxiety issues, transient tics, and sometimes I wonder if he has mild Aspergers.
The anxiety causes problems at bedtime because he has trouble shutting off his mind. If he thinks of anything distressing, he can't sleep. He will say he has a stomachache & can't sleep or cry from the thoughts & worry.
I try to calm him, tell him to think of positive events, relax his body from his toes up, listen to music, etc. I have thought of trying yoga to provide a calming strategy for him but haven't found a DVD yet.
Any suggestions how I can help him? He sleeps like a rock but does wake up really early & says he is awake in the middle of the night, thinking & worrying.
