Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of diphenhydramine on sleep in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Diphenhydramine is an anti-histaminergic agent with strong hypnotic properties. To accomplish this, the investigators will use a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover 8-week study design to examine the effect of diphenhydramine on sleep physiology as assessed by polysomnography (PSG), actigraphy, circadian rhythm, and clinical measures.
