The study aims to identify the level of sensory skills in children with autism spectrum disorder in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia.

Study sample is made up of 50 children with autism spectrum disorder, 35 males and 15 females, with age range of the sample ranges from 3 to 14 years.

The descriptive approach was used, where the sample was selected from the Eastern Area Education Centers and Schools, the sensory skills scale (from the researcher's numbers) was used, and the results of the study found that there was a disparity in the level of sensory skills of the sample in all sensory skills, since the oral/taste sensation skills are most prevalent among the sample.

Then followed by kinetic skills, touch skills, and auditory skills.

The results of the study indicate that there is no disparity in the level of sensory skills in children with gender-variable autism spectrum disorder and that there is a disparity in the level of oral sensory skills between males and females in favor of females.

Lack of disparity in the level of sensory skills in children with autism spectrum disorder depending on the age variable and the sensory program applied to them.
