  Sleep problems are very common in children with autism. With my own son, Brad, I struggled with getting him to sleep in his own bed through the night for 8 years. Using  techniques though, I was finally able to establish a step-by-step procedure that resulted in him sleeping through the night consistently in his own bed and not sleeping on couch  Every night, despite giving Brad his medication . and letting him fall asleep in his own bed, he would wake up.
