Presented by: Megan L. Wenzell (Alder), PhD, RN
Dr. Megan Wenzell's (née Alder) presentation showed that behavioral insomnia is a serious health concern for up to 78% of autistic children, which is two times greater than the prevalence of sleep problems in the broad pediatric population. Compared to the broad pediatric population, the efficacy of educational/behavioral interventions for insomnia in children with autism appears less effective. A better understanding of insomnia subtypes and commonly associated behavioral correlates (e.g., hyperactivity, disruptive behavior) may improve clinical management and prevention of insomnia in children with autism.
