MANOVA statistics and post hoc Tukey’s HSD depicting group differences on the Short Sensory Profile (SSP) and the Test of Everyday Attention for Children (TEA-Ch).

MANOVA variables	Between-subject effects F, p	TD vs. SPD Mean difference, p	TD vs. ASD Mean difference, p	SPD vs. ASD Mean difference, p
SSP total	26.18, p < 0.0005	60.19, p < 0.0005	38.75, p < 0.0005	−21.44, p = 0.037
Control attention	9.16, p < 0.0005	0.54, p = 0.74	2.86, p < 0.0005	2.32, p = 0.006
Sustained attention	8.18, p = 0.001	1.55, p = 0.06	2.63, p < 0.0005	1.08, p = 0.26

Note: TD, typically developing children; SPD, sensory processing disorder; ASD, autism spectrum disorder.
