Abstract

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) has an impact on the quality of life (QoL) of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), affecting their well-being, daily functioning and health. Poor QoL can negatively impact self-esteem, performance, social skills, communication skills, and play skills. The study aims to identify the association between SPD and QoL among ASD children in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study in Malaysia evaluated the health-related quality of life of 100 children with autism spectrum disorder aged 5-7, using a socio- demographic questionnaire, the Short Sensory Profile, and Pediatric QoL Inventory.
