The research sample was chosen intentionally from among children with autism spectrum, with (6) children aged between (4: 7) years, and the results reached the following: - There are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) between the seven Psychodrama fashion designs in achieving the aesthetic, innovative, and functional aspects according to the opinions of specialists. - There are statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) between the seven Psychodrama fashion designs according to the opinions of specialists. - There are statistically significant differences at the level (0.01) between the four Psychodrama fashion designs implemented according to the opinions of the consumer “psychologist”.
