Summary

This study looks at whether trouble processing sounds (called central auditory processing disorder, or CAPD) causes poor sleep in children and teens with autism. Researchers will compare two groups of 100 kids with autism—those with CAPD and those without—using parent surveys and clinical tests. The goal is to better understand how hearing, sleep, and other autism traits like behavior and thinking are connected.
