Abstract
Background: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder faces sensory and motor problems (Vestibular, proprioceptive, Tactile, Auditory and visual processing). Due to these problems, individuals faces difficulties in performing their daily task properly. Objective(s): The objective of this study was to determine how daily living (DL) tasks affected in children with autism Spectrum disorder having sensory and motor problems aged 5-12 years. Methodology: The study conducted in Rehab care school for special children and Hamza Montessori School for special children. Data was collected by using purposing sampling technique in the duration of 4 months. Cross sectional study design was used. 60 patients from both genders were included. Sample selection criteria included the children with autism spectrum disorder with age range of 05-12 years. Sensory profile questionnaire based on Ayers sensory integration theory and Standardized Barthel index scale were used and the data was analyzed by SPSS to determine how daily living task are affected by sensory and motor problems. Results: The results showed that Tactile and auditory processing disorders were highly affecting the performance of the children. About 70% of these individuals were having problems in performing their daily living tasks. Conclusion(s): It was concluded that most of the children with autism spectrum disorder have sensory and motor problems. The performance in activities of daily living is affected by sensory and motor problems especially the tactile and auditory processing. Tactile processing shows that children have difficulty in performing activities like dressing, eating and toileting.

Highlights
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as manifested by the Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction, abnormalities in eye contact and body language or deficits in understanding and use of gestures; to a total lack of facial expressions and nonverbal communication and deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships.1These debilitations may make troubles for an individual perform task independently[2]
The proof assessed has shown that sensory-motor issues are pervasive in autism spectrum condition and they have huge effect on a person's capacity performance[8].Children Autism Spectrum Disorder having sensory motor problems show such hypo or hyper responses such as sensory interests, repetitions, and seeking behaviors HYPO is considered a lack of or delayed response to sensory stimuli HYPER is defined by an exaggerated or avoidant response to sensory stimuli 9Studies have demonstrated that autism spectrum condition has a relationship with sensory reactivity and motor coordination and recommending that the advancement of correspondence and social abilities influenced by these sensory issues[10]
The activities which we play out each day, the tasks of daily living are of two kinds; Basic activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) 18
Summary
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as manifested by the Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, deficits in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction, abnormalities in eye contact and body language or deficits in understanding and use of gestures; to a total lack of facial expressions and nonverbal communication and deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships.1These debilitations may make troubles for an individual perform task independently[2]. Tomchek., et al, 2015) the examination researches to what extent, particular sensory processing pattern identifies with the parts development for example social behavior, fine and gross motor skills, and commitment in activities of daily living and so forth. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder faces sensory and motor problems (Vestibular, proprioceptive, Tactile, Auditory and visual processing). Due to these problems, individuals faces difficulties in performing their daily task properly.
