Abstract	This research evaluated the feasibility of actigraphy to measure sleep and physical activity in children (ages 2-8 years) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We also explored associations between sleep and physical activity. Validated screening measures established eligibility. Questionnaires, diaries, and 5 days and 5 nights of actigraphy monitoring were used to collect data. Of the 32 children enrolled, 27 (84.4%) completed actigraphy monitoring. Based on the median steps per day, children with high physical activity had lower total sleep time and more disruptive behaviors than children with low physical activity. Findings support the feasibility of using actigraphy to measure sleep and physical activity in children with ASD. Larger studies are needed to evaluate interactions of physical activity on sleep in this population. (As Provided).
