About this listen

A compassionate, science-backed guide to improving sleep in children and teens with neurodiversities — written by a renowned pediatric sleep expert who is also the parent of a neurodivergent child.

When Dr. Melisa Moore realized her son had autism and ADHD, she already had a decade of experience helping families navigate sleep issues, but nothing had prepared her for the reality of managing sleep in her own household. The advice she had learned felt too rigid, unrealistic, or simply ineffective for kids like hers. What she needed was a different kind of guide — so she set out to create one.

With humor, validation, and true empathy, Moore offers a multifaceted framework that blends evidence-based science with real-life parenting wisdom. She breaks down the myths of sleep training, redefines “healthy sleep” for neurodiverse families, and provides a toolkit for finding what works — for your child, in your life, right now, even if it doesn’t look the way anyone told you it should. As Moore shows, consistently better sleep is possible, and The Good Sleep Guide for Neurodivergent Kids will get your family there.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“At long last, here is the comprehensive sleep guide parents of neurodivergent children have been waiting for. With the perfect blend of science, professional expertise, and heart, Dr. Moore helps families understand both what’s at the root of their child’s sleep challenges and the steps they can take to help the whole family get the rest they need. We have referred countless parents and children to Dr. Moore over the years, and we have seen firsthand how effective her methods are.” — Jennifer Waldburger, MSW, and Jill Spivack, LCSW, coauthors of The Sleepeasy Solution and cofounders of Sleepy Planet Parenting

“Dr. Moore brings her mom experience to this gem of a book. It’s easy to digest and chock-full of stories, Tuck-In Tips, and Pillow Points. I would recommend this quick read to all sleepy and stressed parents of neurodivergent kids.” — Beth Ann Malow, MD, MS, Burry Chair in Cognitive Childhood Development and professor of neurology and pediatrics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center

“This is the book I wish I could hand to every family who sits in my office exhausted and unsure of what to do next. Sleep is hard for so many neurodiverse kids, and parents are often left piecing together advice from a dozen places. This book finally brings it all together. It is practical, clear, and incredibly reassuring. Honestly, it feels like having a sleep psychologist in your pocket. I will be recommending it to the families I work with and encouraging them to order it, because it truly covers everything.” — Willough Jenkins, MD, child psychiatrist, associate professor, medical director, psychiatric emergency and consultation service, Rady Children’s Hospital, University of California at San Diego
