Abstract EN

The study aims to find out the degree to which individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) participate in household tasks, from the point of view of their families in Riyadh, and to know the impact of independent variables: (sex, age, disability severity, multiple disability) on their participation.

The descriptive approach was adopted in this study and a 27-item scale was designed by the researchers to achieve the objectives of the study.

The items were spread over five main dimensions, applied to a randomly selected sample of (119) families of individuals with ASD in Riyadh.

The study results showed that the degree of participation of individuals with ASD in household tasks was moderate, from their families’ point of view, and statistically significant differences emerged, attributable to age variable, severity of disability and associated disability, and there were no statistically significant differences attributable to sex variable.
