Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Treatment for Autistic Adolescents

Sleep and circadian problems are associated with deleterious social, emotional, and cognitive outcomes, yet are modifiable. This prospective study will adapt and optimize an empirically supported behavioral intervention that addresses common sleep and circadian problems of autistic adolescents, who are at increased risk for mental health disorders, using a transdiagnostic approach. The knowledge gained from this study will help to address a critical need for accessible transdiagnostic sleep interventions for autistic adolescents, who experience a broad range of sleep and circadian problems at high rates and often lack access to specialty care treatment.
