Autism or sensory processing disorder

Hi,

My child is on the waiting list for autism assessment. However most of the traits relate to sensory processing disorder.

Are autism and spd the same thing?

    Children with autism have disruptions in brain connectivity along social and emotional pathways, whereas those pathways are intact in children with SPD alone. Children with SPD tend to have more problems with touch than do those with autism, whereas children with autism struggle more with sound processing.

    See I don't know what my child has then. The issues include eating a very specific diet due to sensory issues within the mouth, severe communication and language delay and well that's it. No issues with lights noise etc and no other traits of autism
