Do children with Aspergers Syndrome suffer from more nightmares than the average child? - aspergers syndrome more condition_symptomsadult
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 work with these children and other children with autism and sing, that is the case.
