Single mom in NYC for the past 9 years, my son is 10. We move every 2-3 years due to rodent or landlord issues despite paying high rent and living in a great area. It’s just NYC. We’re moving again and my son has had insomnia and mood swings and increased anxiety. I start a new job next week as well and will be out of the house more.
Our current bedtime routine is dinner and watching 45 min of a movie together, then read books for 10. Some days he takes a shower. Should I try to establish a new routine that is more calming/soothing? Maybe start the routine earlier than usual? He still sleeps with me for context. He is also starting anxiety and mood meds tonight coincidentally
Any tips on navigating a move with an autistic child who is high functioning/aware of everything/asks lots of questions more than welcome
Thanks!
