Abstract
With the development of technology and gradual enrichment in life, there is a significant increase in attention towards neurodevelopment and child health. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined as a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people speak, behave, and interact with others. Communication and social interaction issues, sensory abnormalities, repetitive habits, and varying degrees of intellectual disability are some of the symptoms of autism. ASDs influences about 1 in 44 children in the USA, with the number of incidents sharply increasing over the years. Epigenetic neurobiology factors and environment related factors should both be considered when interpreting the pathophysiology that lies behind ASD. The 24-hour physiological cycle that displays an endogenous and entrainable oscillation is known as the circadian rhythm, which is generated by a molecular clock system. Mounting evidence are linking circadian rhythm disorder and autism. This includes sleep chaos as a common epiphenomenon of ASD, melatonin level disorder in ASD and circadian gene dysfunction in ASD. This article revolves around three perspectives: 1) Sleep Disorder in ASD 2) Role of Circadian Biomarkers in ASD 3) Variants and deficiency of circadian genes in ASD. In conclusion, the article reveals the important role circadian rhythm plays in neurodevelopmental processes. Through examining the circadian rhythm not only as an epiphenomenon but also as a possible indicator for ASD, the article anticipates the implication of circadian rhythm in novel treatments of ASD as a conclusion.
