Can I have a private post please .

I really need some help / advise I have a 3 old boy who has recently been diagnosed with autism ( we thought something was not right for over a year only now got the diagnosis ) and I also have a 6 month old . At the moment my 3 old is becoming a lot worse behaviour wise the lack of communication doesn’t help either he says a few words but not sentences we have tried flash cards and sign language but he just isn’t interested. He also doesn’t like his baby brother and often tries to attack him and has succeeded on some occasions which is why he can never be left alone with him . We are seeing his doctors ect in the new year and I will ask for advise from them also but right now I am struggling he doesn’t sleep he used to have naps after Nursary ( he goes to Nursary 3-4 hrs everyday ) once had tea bathed ect he then wouldn’t go to sleep until very late at night which I understand he’s had a nap so he probably wouldn’t go to sleep at a reasonable bedtime but if he didn’t have that nap then he would fall asleep at tea time without tea trying to wake him up is trying to wake up the dead .even if he had a 10 min nap he would still be up all night , but the time he went to sleep he would then wake up early hours I’n the morning. Now since not having no Nursary due to the holidays he’s completely cut off naps himself and now goes all day without one and seems fine which is great but when it is his bedtime he sleeps for only a few hours then he is wide awake bouncing around like he’s ate loads of sweets and in a hype ( He doesn’t have a lot of sugar I try and keep that to a minimal incase it was that but still the same ) it then takes ages just to get him back to sleep . He is a Mummy boys he doesn’t like it if he can’t see me or if I’m not with him only time he is ok with me leaving is when he’s at Nursary. He doesn’t sleep in his own bed he will not have any of it he has to be in my bed , his father sleeps on the couch . I have my 6month old in the same room and it’s effecting his sleep aswell as mine he doesn’t just lay in bed quietly he babbles loudly laughs screams jump around ect which then wakes his brother so I’m then trying to get the baby back to asleep aswell and in the time I’ve done all this it’s time to wake up to feed the baby get ready for school when he has it ect . His dad can’t get him to sleep either my son will scream the house down until I’m with him . Is there anything I can do ? I’m so physically and mentally drained I too suffer with mental illnesses and I’m finding it Abit hard 😔 right now I’m on the couch with him he’s finally a gone to sleep ( 7:34 am ) it’s effecting his dad also as he works earlys hours and as you can imagine he is also feeling the strain . Any good advise would be very much appreciated thankyou x
