The cerebellum, which has been found to be abnormal in histopathological studies of autism, is important for motor adaptation. We studied controls and children with high functioning autism (HFA) performing a catching adaptation test that is known to be impaired following cerebellar damage. Results showed no differences in adaptation rates or after-effects for HFA subjects versus controls. The findings indicate normal motor adaptation in HFA, suggesting normal or compensated cerebellar function for this task.
在自闭症的组织病理学研究中发现异常的小脑，对运动适应很重要。我们对对照组和高功能自闭症（HFA）儿童进行了一项抓握适应测试，已知小脑损伤后该测试会受损。结果显示，HFA受试者与对照组在适应率或后效应方面没有差异。这些发现表明HFA患者的运动适应正常，提示该任务的小脑功能正常或得到了代偿。
