" My sister has an autistic son and I told her about how you helped me and suggested she try it. After one of his episodes during the day, she turns on Storytime to calm him down and soothe him. It works. He had been missing a lot of school due to his behaviour. This really does help him. A warm bath, cuddled on the sofa or in bed and a chapter of Storytime." Viki. UK.
Time and time again, as a medical doctor, I have been told that the two things that make such a difference to autistic children are rest times in the day and good sleep at night. Storytime can help with both.
By having a daily routine of listening to Storytime once or twice in the day, and then again in the evening, can help to anchor calm into your child's day. People say that my voice soothes their child and the daily practice brings rewards to the whole family.
Try it - it works.
The first in this series of bedtime stories is The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

"I thought Storytime would be too girly for me but it wasn't. Being so busy in the day in my work I very much enjoyed listening to a chapter every night. It slowed down my mind so that I could sleep."
Marketing man USA."Thank you Dr Caroline for helping me to sleep during a very stressful time of my life. I just adore your soothing voice and I feel like I am again a small child when you read to me. I feel nurtured, safe and secure. The Secret Garden has always been a favorite story of mine as a child. I love it even more now and look forward to bedtime these days!"
