little chickadee Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 My 7yr old lovely boy with High functioning autism/ Aspergers syndrome (just had the diagnosis so I'm telling everyone!) has always insisted on having a light on in his room and freaked out if he woke up in the night and it wasn't on. He got this for his birthday though and now happily goes to sleep with this on and no other light. http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500001151&productId=1500254051&langId=-1&engine=froogle&keyword=Explore+It!+Moon+In+My+Room (I've put a link for Argos as this is the cheapest I've found it.) It goes off after 20 minutes so doesn't use up much battery power and it has a remote control so he can put it on during the night if he wakes up. Just thought I'd share it with you. I know it's in lots of catalogues at the moment, but it really is very lovely and I'd recommend it for any kids who like space, or who are frightened to sleep without a light on.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 What a great idea . I work with a lot of Aspergers kids (I'm a learning assistant in a special school) so know where you're coming from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Never mind the kids, as a fully paid up lunar led, barking mad loonatic I think I'll get one myself!! What a lovely idea, we have to leave a low light on in the bathroom which then diffuses through the door into the hall and casts a low light into the bedrooms for our children, I now can't sleep with the light off Whenever the children go for a sleepover somewhere OH turns all the lights off and I have to wait til he's asleep before turning the light on Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbb Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I too know where you are coming from and that is an absolutely brilliant appliance. I'm sure he'll love it as he can be in control of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Brilliant idea! - I'm sure you're son will be happier having control of his light. I might have a look at one for myself - I have night terrors fairly frequently and can't sleep in the dark either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 That looks . My 9 year old ds has dyspraxia and also has to have a light on at night. That would be a fantastic thing to go on his christmas list, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 We've just got the light off this week because of the cosmic ceiling. Trouble is that it's pitch black in there so I then trip over toys after kissing him goodnight - there is NO light pollution from outside! I've taken to sneaking in after he's asleep to turn on the UV light which charges the ceiling! Trouble is that's borrowed and now I need to buy one!
