Study Summary
The investigators will examine whether sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are related to alterations in the production of melatonin (MT), a hormone that plays an important role in regulating sleep-wake cycle. Children with ASD experience high rates of sleep disturbances that potentially contribute to problems with thinking and behavior. It is unclear if changes in MT production cause sleep problems in children with ASD. MT is frequently used to treat these sleep problems; however, it has not been well established whether MT is an effective treatment. Our hypotheses concerning MT is children with ASD and sleep problems will have a delayed sleep-wake cycle and/or decreased MT production. This study will compare children diagnosed with ASD to "healthy" control children with no ASD diagnosis. All subjects will be recruited from one of three sites: Baylor College of Medicine, Oregon Health \& Science University and Columbia University. The investigators will use a standardized questionnaire to determine whether the child has sleep problems. The investigators will measure MT levels in saliva in ASD children with sleep problems and in a group of control children without sleep problems. Total 24-hour MT production will be determined from urine samples in these same two groups.
