The present was designed to compare motor competence, activity levels, sensory processing young adults (AS) age gender matched controls, skills between younger older participants within both groups. Additionally, this examined efficacy as part ongoing vocational on competence fitness for AS. Young AS performed tasks at remarkably lower level than their peers, they scored all subtests, including manual dexterity, balance, ball skills, coordination, flexibility, muscular strength, running speed cardio-respiratory endurance. Adolescents were also less physically active continued demonstrate delays over age, even though competencies individuals seemed improve after adolescent years. Differences groups without found overall well three four quadrants (low registration, sensation seeking, avoidance). Further analysis revealed that 47% reported extreme levels processing. Moreover differences profile varied observed. 12-week successful indicated improved sustained time. Implementation similar programs is therefore recommended.
