Small number of children with autism also have a neuro-genetic condition such as fragile X syndrome, angelman syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, chromosome 15 duplication syndrome or other chromosomal disorders. About 46 to 85% of children with autism have problems such a s chronic constipation or diarrhoea. Gastrointestinal problems are common in these children and sleep problems are common in children and adolescents with autism.
