Sleep & Autism

Sleep problems are pervasive in the autism community with an average range of 60-80% of families reporting some level of sleep challenges with their child. This leads some to believe that children with autism will never sleep well. However, rest assured (pun intended) this is simply not true. Children diagnosed with autism have just as much potential for healthy sleep as other children, and a diagnosis of autism does not mean a life-sentence of poor sleep and tired days.
