AB The purposes of the study were to identify whether differences exist between Spanishchildren 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 thoseareas and sensory processing. Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study. Methods: Fortychildren, 20 with a diagnosis of ASD and 20 with neurotypical development, were recruited. Themeasurement tools used were the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), Test of Playfulness (ToP), and Sensory Processing Measure (SPM). Results: The sensory processing of childrenwith ASD were related to decreased functional skills performance of ADL (F = 94.4, p = 0.00) andplayfulness (p = 0.00) than neurotypical children; in addition, the problems of sensory reactivitywere associated with worse development in these occupational areas (p = 0.00 for both Spearmancorrelations). Conclusions: Children with ASD present worse performance of functional skills andplayfulness than neurotypical ones. Likewise, sensory reactivity is related to the development in theoccupational areas.
