Many children with autism spectrum disorder struggle with sleep problems, and some have a condition called obstructive sleep apnea that needs diagnosis. Currently, diagnosing this condition requires an overnight hospital sleep study with many sensors, which can be stressful for children with autism. This study is testing a simpler portable sleep monitor (called the Nox T3s) to see if it can accurately detect sleep apnea at home, making testing easier and more accessible for families.
Sleep disorders are common in children with autism, but traditional hospital sleep studies are difficult for many of these children because of the unfamiliar environment, stress, and equipment setup. Additionally, there are long waitlists for sleep testing in Canada, with some families waiting up to 2 years. This trial aims to find a simpler, home-based alternative that works well for children with autism.

You would use both a portable sleep monitor and undergo a standard hospital sleep study on the same night during your first sleep test. The portable device is simpler and less intrusive than the hospital equipment. After the test, you and your caregiver may be asked to share your thoughts about the experience through interviews or surveys to help researchers understand what works best for families.
