Hi Stacy,
I have a son who is 14 and I have often thought that he has autistic behaviours. Interestingly enough, we have a psychologist who has visited our son and he has advised that a lot of his symptoms are very similar to Aspeger's as well.
Our son, Alex has had sleep issues and currently has behavioural issues. I am not sure if you are asking something specific about sleep and behavioural issues, but my understanding is that it is quite common.
Regards,
Dawn
