Autism Research Institute
Register for our next free webinar Oct 1st: Sleep Issues and ASD presented by Gail Williams, M.D.
Disordered sleep is frequently associated with behavior problems and inattention in typically developing and developmentally disabled children. Sleep problems in ASD are correlated with increased maternal stress and parental sleep disruption. Repetitive behaviors and insistence on sameness may also be increased with poor sleep patterns.
Gail Williams, M.D. is an Associate Professor for the University of Louisville Department of Pediatrics and Clinical Co-Director of the University of Louisville Autism Center. She is a board certified developmental/behavioral pediatrician and works in a multidisciplinary setting seeing children of all ages with such concerns as autism, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette syndrome, and mental retardation. Dr. Williams is also the director of the STAR (Systematic Treatment of Autism and Related Disorders) biomedical clinic. While her primary responsibilities are clinical, she also engages in clinical research and has authored several articles on autism and other developmental topics.
