    My child is 4 years old, autistic, nonverbal, and has no ways of communication. She has inconsolably crying when sleepy and waking up every hour or so throughout the night crying. It has been getting worse so we are considering starting clonidine again. Her reaction to it last time was crying...

    It took 5 rounds of antibodics to solve the ear infection. We went to multiple hospitals. She is with me 24/7. She was going to school in the summer but I had to take her out due to the ear infections. there is no one new and no life changes besides starting ABA.

    Thank you! She gets up at the four hour mark too! We have been on melatonin for over a year. We tried clonidine but it made the sleep issues worse unfortunately.

    I'm guessing anywhere but in the bedroom. Maybe to the living room or to the car. Car rides are the only thing that can calm her down and that doesn't work everytime.

    Inconsolable crying when tired / waking up for hours at night

    She would sleep through the night on occasion. But about 2 and a half months ago she got sick and started crying all the time. We went to multiple hospitals, ENT, pediatrician, and urgent cares trying to figure out what was happening. After two months her ear infection was finally gone, but...

    She used to play with plush animals but now she won't even touch them. I wonder if they irritated her skin too.

    I have a white noise sound machine but it doesn't seem to be helping unfortunately.

    Yes. We have been trying that for years in all the therapies she goes to. Right now all she has is "more" and "eat".

    It is very possible. She wakes about the same time every night too, after 4 hours of sleep. She sleeps with me and sometimes our dog already.

    Thank you for the ideas! I will look into getting some lights. She has a weighted blanket that she likes too.
