As the main occupation of childhood, play is considered by occupational therapists as an important vehicle for the assessment and treatment of preschool children. For the child with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), play not only offers a mechanism whereby the severity of the disorder can be ascertained but also enables interventions to be implemented and monitored.This paper aims to summarise the current literature as it relates to the play of children with ASD. By doing so, it alerts the reader to the complexity of the issue of play as a means of assessment and intervention and highlights areas of continuing clinical and research concern.
