Sleep difficulties are particularly prevalent amongst people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) and can often cause or worsen other difficulties. This comprehensive guide to the management of sleep problems introduces proven remedies and focuses on the problems commonly found in ASDs and related conditions. The full range of sleep disorders are discussed, alongside their treatment regimes. The book also examines why some sleep issues are more common among people with ASDs, how these problems can evolve over time, and what can be done to treat them.
