Sleep issues

Vitsky

This kid won't sleep! Wait, let me rephrase...he falls asleep fine but i have to stay with him until he does i know, we created a monster then he wakes in the middle of the nightno clue what is causing him to wake up and comes into our room....i take him back to his bed and wait till he is asleep and then i go back to bed And within an hour...he's up again and repeat process....i dont know what keeps waking him but this has gotten old! He is 4 with autism....any advice is welcome!
