Abstract
This article examines the neurobiological aspects of sleep in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) based on a thorough literature review from PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. Studies show that children with ASD experience more frequent and severe sleep disorders than their neurotypical peers, facing difficulties in falling asleep, maintaining sleep, and achieving restful sleep. As sleep is essential for neurological development and overall health, disturbances in this process significantly impact behavioral and cognitive skills. This paper reviews the neurobiological mechanisms underlying sleep disorders, including neurochemical and neuroanatomical aspects, as well as the consequences of disrupted sleep on development. It concludes that individualized interventions and interdisciplinary approaches are crucial for continuous improvement in quality of life and development in children with autism.
