Sleep difficulties are very common among individuals with Profound Autism, and they can have a significant impact not only on the individual but also on their families and caregivers. Challenges may include difficulty falling asleep, frequent night waking, early waking, or irregular sleep patterns. Lack of sleep can affect learning, attention, mood regulation, and overall quality of life. While medical evaluation is sometimes necessary to rule out underlying issues, behavioral strategies—such as establishing consistent routines, creating calming bedtime environments, and teaching independent sleep skills—can make a real difference.
