Official title

Contribution of Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) to Sleep Disturbances in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Overview

The proposed study aims to understand poor sleep as a possible cause to CAPD in children and adolescents with ASD (ASD+) compared to ASD youth without CAPD (ASD-), using both caregiver-report and objective clinician administered measures. Additionally, the study will aim to understand the complex relationship between CAPD, sleep, and other associated phenotypic features of ASD such as executive and psychiatric functioning.

Detailed description

Participation will involve one assessment session approximating 4 hours including administration of neurocognitive and socioemotional measures by trained research staff. The research team then will determine which participants meet CAPD diagnostic criteria for both the SCAN-3 and RGDT tests and assign them to the ASD+ group. Participants not meeting these criteria will be assigned to the ASD- group. Following the assessment visit, all participants will then be asked to wear actigraphy monitors (comparable to overnight polysomnography) regularly for 14 days during nighttime sleep to objectively measure sleep quality.

Primary outcome measures

  • Sensory Processing Patterns in Children Ages 14 and Below [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of one year]
  • Sensory Processing Patterns in Children Ages 15 and Above [Time frame: Through study completion, an average of one year]
