Sleep difficulties are a very common co‑occurring condition experienced by Autistic children. It is estimated that 50–80% of Autistic children experience a sleep disorder.
Sleep difficulties experienced by Autistic children can result in challenges and stress that impact various aspects of life for the children themselves as well as their family members. When parents/carers and families
seek your professional advice and support, it is important to consider the health effects not just for the children directly impacted, but also for the family as a whole.
The following two case studies provide examples of the kinds of impacts children and families can experience, and common supports that contribute to effective management of sleep difficulties for Autistic children.
