un trouble du comportement

Explanation:
Je suis pas sûre que cette expression soit l'exacte traduction, mais d'après la définition en anglais de ce trouble, cela semble correspondre.

The term ‘regulatory disorder’ is sometimes used in infancy and refers to babies who are overwhelmed by normal sensory input.
This is in contrast to the behavior of a typically developing infant who may, at four or five in the afternoon,have a crying period and need to be held in a snugly or quiet place.
Infants with regulatory disorders seem to have an inability to process many environmental and internal inputs and therefore cry very often and can look like they have colic.
They just basically cry most of the day. These infants also have trouble sleeping.
Their sleep/wake cycles are really thrown off so that they may not sleep much at all or sleep in short fits and starts or wake up crying.

regulatory disorder

coexistence of difficulties in several behaviour domains:
difficuclty initiating sleep + irritability + problem staying organized to ear + some developmental delays + difficulties in processing stimuli + inattentiveness and restlessness
