| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study involved participant observation of the behavior of children with ASD in group living and qualitative data collection and analysis from a sensory perspective. The results revealed a diversity of sensory types and behavioral aspects associated with maladaptive behaviors in group living among six preschool children (mean age 4.87 years); presumably, even children with ASD without a comorbid diagnosis of ADHD have challenges with visual and auditory attentional functions. In addition, neuropsychological testing of tactile perception was conducted as an experimental study of tactile perception in relation to difficulties in social life. Of the three children with ASD (mean age 15.09 years), two showed conflict between visual and tactile perception of texture, suggesting the possibility of more than expected ASD children with similar characteristics.
