The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing a telephone based
intervention (TCM) to usual care (UC). TCM will feature a registered nurse providing a
series of phone calls to assist caregivers in learning and modifying behavioral strategies
that may help young children with autism to sleep better. Objective (activity monitors) and
subjective (rating scales) data will be collected by an independent research assistant at
the end of the project. The investigators hypothesize that TCM improves sleep duration and
decreases sleep problems relative to a usual care control condition (UC).
