Abstract

Like children with other developmental disabilities, children with autism spectrum disorders suffer from sleep problems at a greater rate than typically developing children. It is increasingly recognized that addressing these sleep problems may improve daytime functioning and decrease family stress. The sleep problems experienced by children with autism spectrum disorders are presented in this article.
