Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder often accompanied by sleep disorders(SD).SD can affect the development of the nervous，reproductive，and immune systems，impacting the physical and mental health of affected children.It can also exacerbate the core symptoms of ASD，such as screaming，hyperactivity，and emotional and behavioral issues，leading to a vicious cycle.The incidence of SD in children with ASD has been rising annually.Modern medicine suggests that the causes of ASD with SD may be related to genetic，environmental，and other factors.Treatment mainly focuses on behavioral interventions，drug therapy，and physical treatments，but the long-term effects and adverse reactions have not been well studied.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) attributes the pathogenesis of ASD with SD to congenital deficiencies and post-illness malnutrition.TCM treatment involves a comprehensive syndrome differentiation approach(including eight principles，Zang-fu organ differentiation，defense-qi-nutrient-blood differentiation，and etiology differentiation) and various therapies(such as Chinese herbal decoctions，acupuncture，Tuina，and aromatherapy)，all of which have shown good clinical efficacy
