A mother with 4 autistic children
The BBC investigates the link between autism and sleep disorders:Although Jacqui's family's situation is so severe, studies have shown that of the 500,000 people on the autistic spectrum in the UK most have some sort of sleep problems.
Over a third of them suffer from serious sleep problems that are debilitating for their families, partners and careers.
Comments:
the mother is probably a carrier of Fragile X syndrome, and X-linked disorder causing mental retardation and autistic tendencies. It sounds like her sons are not all severely affected, however.
