The present study explored the relationship between biological motion (BioM) processing, motor skills, and autistic traits within a non-clinical sample of 621 adults (18-73 years, 51.8% female). Results indicated that adults with greater autistic traits also endorsed difficulties associated with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in childhood and adulthood. Traits associated with autism spectrum disorder and DCD were predictive of BioM processing abilities. The results also revealed sex differences in DCD, autistic traits, and BioM processing. Overall, these findings suggest that adults with greater autistic traits experience both deficits in motor activities as well as underlying motor perceptual abilities.
本研究在一个由 621 名成年人（18-73 岁，51.8%为女性）组成的非临床样本中，探讨了生物运动（BioM）处理、运动技能和自闭症特征之间的关系。结果表明，自闭症特征较强的成年人在儿童期和成年期也会出现与发育协调障碍（DCD）相关的困难。与自闭症谱系障碍和 DCD 相关的特征可预测 BioM 处理能力。研究结果还揭示了 DCD、自闭症特征和 BioM 处理在性别上的差异。总的来说，这些发现表明，自闭症特征较强的成年人在运动活动和潜在的运动知觉能力方面都存在缺陷。
