Cross-sectional study shows the link between sensory processing patterns and self-care skills in children with autism, indicating the need for careful interpretation.
Sensory processing difficulties may predict self-care skills in young children with ASD. Motor-related sensory challenges seem particularly significant, but it is crucial to approach these findings carefully due to the study's cross-sectional design and dependence on parents' reports. Future research should include longitudinal studies with objective measurements to provide more definitive insights.
