Recently separated from my husband. My ASD daughter is struggling through the change...specifically with bedtime. Struggling to stay in bed, fall asleep and "missing her dad". We're doing the "worry box" again and call dad every night. Any advice from someone that has navigated these waters?

We have a 10 year old son with ASD. He steals whatever he wants with no remorse. He has been doing this for years. He steals food, candy, money, toys from stores.
