The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of cervical TEN stimulation (TENS) delivered to the back of the neck to decrease anxiety and sleep issues in young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The specific aim is to determine the effect of TENS, delivered over 3 daily sessions, on anxiety and sleep quality in young adults with ASD, as compared to sham and baseline. The investigator will enroll up to 10 young adults, aged 10 to 25 years of age with confirmed ASD and measureable anxiety and sleep disturbance symptoms, and participation will last 3 weeks.
