Sleep disturbance is a common challenge for those on the autism
spectrum and can have a profound impact on quality of life. Sleep
deprivation can exacerbate features of autism such as repetitive
behaviours, can affect brain growth and negatively impact immune
and metabolic functions. With contributions from pioneering
researchers and clinicians, this book provides a professional
understanding of the impact of sleep deprivation on autistic
people. It offers insight into the latest research and available
treatments, including the potential solutions offered by
pharmacotherapy, using polysomnography in sleep evaluation, and the
role of physical disturbances such as pain in sleep disorders.
Contributing authors take an in-depth look at current behavioural
interventions for sleep problems, conduct an extensive review of
sensory processing in relation to sleep disturbances, and offer a
discussion and analysis of the role of nutrition and dietary
advice. This is the cutting edge resource for professionals and
academics seeking further insight into sleep disturbances and
autism, exploring contemporary research and setting the groundwork
for the most effective methods of treatment for individuals of all
ages.
