The objective of the present study was to compare the sensory processingcharacteristics of children with ASD in the natural context of school through the perception of professionals in the field of education, in comparison with neurodevelopmental children (2) Methods:A cross-sectional descriptive study as conducted with study population consisting of children between three and ten years old, 36 of whom were diagnosed with ASD and attended the AutismoBurgos association; the remaining 24 had neurotypical development. The degree of response of thechildren to sensory stimuli at school was evaluated using the Sensory Profile-2 (SP-2) questionnairein its school version, answered by the teachers. (3) Results: Statistically significant differences werefound in sensory processing patterns (p = 0.001), in sensory systems (p = 0.001) and in school factors(p = 0.001). Children with ASD who obtained worse results. (4) Conclusions: Children with ASDare prone to present sensory alterations in different contexts, giving nonadapted behavioral andlearning responses.
