Abstract

The purpose of the study was to find out the difference between the reported time duration of SSP filled up by the caregivers of children with ASD and children without ASD among Indian population that can be useful to understand the psychology of the caregiver based on the time taken to fill up the form. Age and Gender matched 50 children with and without ASD were approached on different platforms and incorporated in the study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. It has been come to the notice that the caregivers of children with ASD took less time as compare to the caregivers of children without ASD. From this study it has been concluded that the time duration invented by the researchers out of India for SSP cannot be implemented same as it is because India is having different cultural background. Therefore, whenever any tool is invented it needs to be modified according to the culture and language of that country. The sample does not represent the entire population of children with ASD and without ASD; therefore the study can be done with larger sample size. This study recognizes the importance of assessing the performance of children from different cultural contexts, particularly in relation to their everyday functioning or occupation.
