Sensory processing disorder is purely about a persons ability to process sensory input, for example they may be more sensitive to touch, light, sound, scent, or taste. Autism includes sensory processing disorder but also includes social skills problems, social communication problems, and can be comorbid with other conditions such as ADHD.

There's no such thing as 'high functioning autism' this is considered an offensive term among Autistic people because it suggests some people with Autism are better than others, it is a judgement not a diagnosis or a formal standard as assessing Autism.
