Summary/Abstract: A major issue in social and educational inclusion is sensory processing disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research issue is argued in the paper based on literature survey. After the psycho-pedagogical experiment, the following were found: difficulties in social development (play relationships, development of communication skills), failure to develop psychological processes, emotional-behavioural development (agitation, negativity, and selfishness), and failure to develop activity. Under the "senses" parameter, sensory desynchronization is noticed in touch, movement and hearing. In "other sensory skills", sensory desynchronization is predominantly noticed in organisation and the socio-emotional field. These data confirm that due to sensory desynchronization (sensory processing disorders), students have major difficulties in functioning in activity, eating, organization, sleep and social-emotional skills. Following these results, recommendations were presented.
