Like most autism spectrum disorders or ASD, these patterns of Aspergers Symptoms In Children are usually first detected in infancy or early childhood. One of the most apparent (but often times overlooked) Aspergers symptoms is the constant wakefulness and sleeping problems early on in the child’s development. According to studies, many children with AS has difficulty falling asleep; and / or wakes up too early in the morning; and / or has frequent nocturnal awakenings and difficulty returning to sleep afterwards. These may simply be due to the fact that children with AS (and most other children with ASD) have high sensory sensitivity. They are extremely sensitive to light, pain, sound, smell, temperature, texture, touch and other stimuli. Any change in the immediately environment (like a light opening in the hallway, or the patter of footsteps out in the street heard through the window, or even a drop in the room’s temperature) can make the child alert and restless.
