Tailoring a brief sleep intervention for autism: a randomised controlled trial

高达86%的自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童患有行为睡眠问题，这与核心ASD症状的增加、内化和外化障碍的增加以及父母压力的增加有关。“酣睡之声”研究是一种新颖的睡眠行为干预，作为一种减少ASD儿童睡眠问题和改善心理健康结果的治疗方法，它显示出了很大的希望。

Up to 86% of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience behavioural sleep problems which have been shown to be associated with increased core ASD symptoms, increased rates of internalizing and externalizing disorders, and increased parental stress. The “Sleeping Sound” study is a novel behavioural sleep intervention that has shown much promise as a treatment to reduce sleep problems and improve mental health outcomes in children with ASD.
