A high number of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present motor deficits. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the motor performance of children with ASD and (2) to analyze the influence that sociodemographic variables and difficulties related to learning have in the development of motor deficits.
Participants were 23 boys and 5 girls with ASD between 4-14 years old. Impairments in motor development were evaluated using the Movement assessment battery for children-2 (MABC-2). Parents provided information on the personal and contextual variables of the participants through a sociodemographic questionnaire and they reported the motor skills of their children through the Checklist of the MABC-2.
The results suggest that most children with ASD present difficulties in balance and in fine and gross motor skills. Likewise, the analysis of the χ tests suggested that curricular adaptations, the presence of siblings and traits such as impulsivity, hyperactivity and speech difficulties are factors related to their motor development.
The findings highlight the need to address these difficulties from an early age to stimulate and encourage their development.
大量自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）患者存在运动缺陷。本研究的目的是：（1）评估ASD儿童的运动表现；（2）分析社会人口统计学变量和学习相关困难对运动缺陷发展的影响。
研究对象为23名男孩和5名年龄在4至14岁之间的患有ASD的女孩。使用儿童运动评估量表第二版（MABC-2）评估运动发育障碍。家长通过社会人口统计学问卷提供有关参与者个人和背景变量的信息，并通过MABC-2清单报告其孩子的运动技能。
结果表明，大多数ASD儿童在平衡以及精细和粗大运动技能方面存在困难。同样，χ检验分析表明，课程调整、兄弟姐妹的存在以及冲动、多动和言语困难等特征是与其运动发育相关的因素。
研究结果强调需要从早期就解决这些困难，以刺激和促进他们的发育。
