Not had good time a my GP. Been told by I dont have Autism. Then showed copy of my NHS diagnosis letter. I thought that was sorted that out.
Then tried to explane that I can not get to sleep and keep awaking up at night. The GP wouldn't have any off it. The GP told me it "Life Choices" that sleepy. By that point I just was not getting anywhere with the GP. So do you know where I can get information on sleep problems with Autism.
The Autism and Health: A Special Report by Autism Speaks report contains a short section on autism and disrupted sleep:https://www.autismspeaks.org/science/science-news/autism-and-health-special-report-autism-speaks
As the report states, most studies relating to autism and disrupted sleep relate to children.
NAS also has a page on autism and sleep:http://www.autism.org.uk/about/health/sleep.aspx
This Research Autism link will provide a fair bit of reading about autism and sleep:http://researchautism.net/search?s=sleep
Autism Connect has a research review summary on the subject:https://autism-connect.org.uk/upload/pdf_files/1431002236_sleep%20and%20autism.pdf
Finally, have a look at the Royal College of General Practitioners' web page for autism:http://www.rcgp.org.uk/ASD
Whilst the NICE clinical guideline 170 link relates to children and young people, you may find something helpful in the guidelines (which can be downloaded as a PDF, ePUB or MOBI).
Thanks for that.Shock horror, Autism research only on the effects children. That something new. ;)
