“…The survey was a novel questionnaire designed by the second author based on similar surveys (Polimeni, Richdale & Franc, 2005;Robinson & Richdale, 2004;Schrek & Mulick, 2000). The language questions used were scales from the Children's Communication Checklist (Bishop, 1998).…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to: i) compare sleep patterns of children with communication disorders to the sleep patterns of their typical peers, and ii) ascertain whether sleep patterns related to language in this sample. Permanent repository link METHOD:The relationship between sleep and language was investigated via parental questionnaires. There were sixty-five child participants in total aged between 3-18 years.Parents reported on 28 children with a developmental communication disorder (CD; ASD n=8 or DLD n=20) and 37 who were typical developing.RESULTS: The children with a developmental communication disorder showed more sleep problems than their typical peers particularly in terms of getting to sleep and early waking. Furthermore, significant correlations were found between sleep behaviour and language for children in both groups.CONCLUSION: Children with CD may have poorer sleep patterns than their typical peers which could compound developmental language difficulties.

Fragile X Syndrome: A Review of Associated Medical Problems

et al. 2014

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common known genetic cause of inherited intellectual disability and the most common known singlegene cause of autism spectrum disorder. It has been reported that a spectrum of medical problems are commonly experienced by people with FXS, such as otitis media, seizures, and gastrointestinal problems. Previous studies examining the prevalence of medical problems related to FXS have been challenging to interpret because of their marked differences in population, setting, and sampling. Through this comprehensive review, we update the literature by reviewing studies that have reported on prominent medical problems associated with FXS. We then compare prevalence results from those studies with results from a large cross-sectional database consisting of data collected by fragile X clinics that specialize in the care of children with FXS and are part of the Fragile X Clinical and Research Consortium. It is vital for pediatricians and other clinicians to be familiar with the medical problems related to FXS so that affected patients may receive proper diagnosis and treatment; improved care may lead to better quality of life for these patients and their families.

“…18,19 Several additional studies have emphasized the negative impact of childhood sleep disorders on the HRQoL for the child and family. [20][21][22] Although the relationship between sleep anddaytime functioningis establishedin heterogeneous groups of children with developmental disabilities, fewer studies have looked at this relationship in children with ASDs. Mayes and Calhoun 23 reported that children with ASDs and sleep problems had more severe autistic symptoms, hyperactivity, mood variability, and aggression, than children with no sleep problems.…”

The Relationship Between Sleep Problems and Daytime Behavior in Children of Different Ages With Autism Spectrum Disorders

et al. 2012

BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the relationships among sleep problems and daytime behaviors in a large, well-defined cohort of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS Out of a registry population of 3452 children with ASDs, a subset of 1193 children aged 4 to 10 years of age from 14 centers across the country was used to evaluate the relationship between varying levels of sleep problems and daytime behavior. Measures included Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Survey Interview Form, Second Edition, and Child Behavior Checklist. Multiple analysis of covariance was used to assess the association between sleep and behavior. RESULTS Results suggest that sleep problems, as identified by parent report by use of the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire, have a negative relationship with daytime behavior. More specifically, children with ASDs and sleep problems had more internalizing and externalizing behavior problems, as measured by the Child Behavior Checklist, and poorer adaptive skill development, as measured by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, than children with ASDs and no sleep problems. Children with moderate to severe sleep problems had greater behavior difficulties, but not necessarily poorer adaptive functioning, than children with mild to moderate sleep problems. Both preschool- and school-aged children demonstrated a negative relationship between behavior and sleep, whereas the relationship between sleep and adaptive functioning was much more variable. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that, although sleep has a negative relationship with internalizing and externalizing behavior, it may have a different relationship with the acquisition of adaptive skills.
