Summary

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents unique challenges, particularly in sleep, mood, and quality of life for adolescents and adults. Due to the pressures of life they face, these groups may experience more severe sleep problems and emotional issue and associated issues than children. Current research on these sleep and emotional issues in older ASD individuals is limited, and there is a need for studies on various sleep and emotional problems they encounter. This study aims to compare sleep patterns in adolescents and adults with Asperger's syndrome and high-functioning autism using both subjective and objective measures, such as questionnaires and polysomnography. It also examines the factors influencing sleep, including cognitive function, emotional and behavioral problems, and quality of life. Additionally, the study evaluates the reliability and validity of the Chinese Social Responsiveness Scale-Adult Version in Taiwan. The expected outcome is that sleep and emotional issues in these populations are linked to anxiety, depression, poorer functioning, and lower quality of life.
