  • Sleep issues are common in young  with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and although the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) is widely used for assessment, concerns about its ideal variable structure still exist. This research looked at the CSHQ's variable structure in young children with ASD and explored the relationship between CSHQ variables and emotional, cognitive, and behavioral dysregulation. Children with ASD between the ages of 4 and 5 (n = 270) took part in the research. Two previously published CSHQ variable frameworks were tested for  data using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and other frameworks were investigated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Regression analysis evaluated how differences in dysregulation symptoms were explained by the values of the  variables.previously published frameworks for validated, a novel five-variable system discovered by EFA showed a great fit with the  Although sleep characteristics were not generally linked to autistic symptoms, there was evidence of particular associations between them and aggression, stress, depression, and attention deficit problems. These results highlight how common sleep issues are in young children with ASD and indicate that the recently discovered CSHQ five-variable approach may be useful in future studies.
