Sleep, Anxiety, and Behavioural Problems in Autistic Children
12 March 2018
Want to know if your child sleeps well? I am seeking parents or siblings of autistic children (aged 6-16 years) to take part in an online study, aiming to examine if sleep disturbance intensifies anxiety, repetitive behaviour and sensory abnormalities in autistic children. You will complete a survey (30min) and record a week of sleep and wake-up times (max. 3min/day) for the child. A summary and professional interpretations of assessment results will be provided upon request.
