Specialist Sleep Support for Autistic and ADHD Children
Individualised, research informed sleep support delivered online.
Because sleep is influenced by more than bedtime routines.
​Autistic and ADHD children are more likely to experience differences in falling asleep, staying asleep, waking at expected times and feeling rested during the day.
Why Sleep Can Be Different
A child’s sleep may be influenced by several interacting factors, including:
• Body clock and sleep timing
• Sensory processing
• Nervous system arousal and regulation
• Anxiety and emotional safety
• Communication and support needs
• Medication effects
• Co-occurring health and sleep conditions
​
The combination is different for every child. This is why a standard bedtime routine or generic sleep strategy may not address what is actually affecting sleep. Current research describes varied sleep presentations in autistic and ADHD children, including difficulties with sleep timing, sleep onset, sleep continuity and daytime alertness.
The NeuroNest Approach
NeuroNest looks at the whole sleep picture rather than focusing only on bedtime behaviour.
Recommendations draw on current peer reviewed research relating to autistic and ADHD children, including the evidence underpinning the Australian Sleeping Sound interventions.
Support is individualised, neurodiversity affirming and attachment informed. Cry it out methods are not used, and children are not expected to abruptly lose the comfort or support they need to feel safe.
