Our study provides novel electrophysiological evidence for a nuanced, sleep-related dysregulation in ASD that varies by sleep stage and cortical region, and subtly diverges from patterns observed in NT controls. Given the mechanistic relevance of sleep for neurodevelopment and circuit homeostasis, these findings offer valuable insights into sleep-related neurophysiological dysregulation in ASD.
