The purposes of the study were to identify whether differences exist between Spanish children with ASD and neurotypical development in relation to Activities of Daily Living (ADL), playfulness, and sensory processing; as well as to confirm whether a relation exists between those areas and sensory processing.
A descriptive cross-sectional study.
Forty children, 20 with a diagnosis of ASD and 20 with neurotypical development, were recruited. The measurement tools used were the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), Test of Playfulness (ToP), and Sensory Processing Measure (SPM).
The sensory processing of children with ASD were related to decreased functional skills performance of ADL (F = 94.4, = 0.00) and playfulness ( = 0.00) than neurotypical children; in addition, the problems of sensory reactivity were associated with worse development in these occupational areas ( = 0.00 for both Spearman correlations).
Children with ASD present worse performance of functional skills and playfulness than neurotypical ones. Likewise, sensory reactivity is related to the development in the occupational areas.
本研究的目的是确定患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的西班牙儿童与神经发育正常的儿童在日常生活活动（ADL）、嬉戏性和感觉统合方面是否存在差异；并确认这些领域与感觉统合之间是否存在关联。
描述性横断面研究。
招募了40名儿童，其中20名被诊断为患有ASD，20名神经发育正常。使用的测量工具包括儿童残疾评定量表（PEDI）、嬉戏性测试（ToP）和感觉统合量表（SPM）。
与神经发育正常的儿童相比，患有ASD的儿童的感觉统合与ADL功能技能表现下降（F = 94.4，P = 0.00）和嬉戏性下降（P = 0.00）有关；此外，感觉反应问题与这些职业领域的较差发育相关（斯皮尔曼相关性两者均为P = 0.00）。
患有ASD的儿童在功能技能和嬉戏性方面的表现比神经发育正常的儿童差。同样，感觉反应与职业领域的发育有关。
