Abstract
<jats:p>The chapter presents a comparative analysis of the level of formation of self-care skills in preschool children with autism spectrum disorders. Theoretical approaches to the study of the specifics of the formation of domestic independence in children with ASD in the context of their intellectual development are considered. Special attention is paid to the differentiation of children by the presence or absence of concomitant intellectual disabilities. An empirical study conducted on the basis of a preschool educational institution revealed statistically significant differences in the deficit profiles of two groups. The results demonstrate the need to develop differentiated corrective routes: for children with intellectual disabilities, the focus is on the formation of basic algorithms with physical assistance, for children with preserved intelligence – on automation of skills and self-control.</jats:p>
