Studies of infant motor development in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have increased in recent years. This article synthesized this literature through meta-analysis to assess (a) whether infant motor ability differs in ASD relative to neurotypical controls; and (b) whether motor ability and communication are related in infants with ASD. Study 1 aggregated data from 1,953 infants with ASD (ages 3.0-42.0 months), and Study 2 included 890 infants with ASD (age 6.0-42.9 months). Study 1 revealed that infant motor ability differed significantly in ASD compared with neurotypical infants-this difference was robust to variation in measurement and design. Furthermore, this group difference amplified as age increased. Study 2 indicated that within ASD, infant motor ability and communication are related.
近年来，自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）婴儿运动发育的研究有所增加。本文通过荟萃分析综合了这一文献，以评估：（a）自闭症婴儿的运动能力是否与神经典型对照组存在差异；以及（b）自闭症婴儿的运动能力和沟通能力是否存在相关性。研究 1 汇总了 1953 名自闭症婴儿（3.0-42.0 个月）的数据，研究 2 纳入了 890 名自闭症婴儿（6.0-42.9 个月）的数据。研究 1 表明，自闭症婴儿的运动能力与神经典型婴儿存在显著差异——这种差异在测量和设计的变化中具有稳健性。此外，随着年龄的增长，这种组间差异也在扩大。研究 2 表明，在自闭症中，婴儿的运动能力和沟通能力是相关的。
