This study was conducted to explore the effect of motor coordination on repetitive behaviors in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) aged 5-15 years. The study employed the causal-comparative design, one of the correlational survey designs. The study was carried out with data obtained from parents of 241 children with ASD. The parents were administered the measurement tools of to confirm the diagnosis of ASD, to obtain information about the child and the parent, to evaluate the repetitive behaviors, and to evaluate the motor coordination performance. The data were analyzed MANCOVA in the R package program. The study results revealed that 72% of children with ASD had a risk of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The repetitive behaviors of children with and without DCD risk differed significantly. The severity and intensity of the repetitive behaviors of children with DCD risk were higher than those without DCD risk when age, gender, and comorbidity were taken under control. The motor coordination problems in children with ASD are effective on repetitive behaviors.
本研究旨在探讨运动协调对5至15岁自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童重复行为的影响。该研究采用了因果比较设计,这是相关调查设计之一。该研究使用了从241名ASD儿童的父母那里获得的数据。向父母发放了测量工具,以确认ASD的诊断,获取有关孩子和父母的信息,评估重复行为,并评估运动协调表现。在R包程序中对数据进行了多变量协方差分析。研究结果显示,72%的ASD儿童有发展性协调障碍(DCD)的风险。有DCD风险和无DCD风险的儿童的重复行为有显著差异。在控制年龄、性别和共病因素后,有DCD风险的儿童重复行为的严重程度和强度高于无DCD风险的儿童。ASD儿童的运动协调问题对重复行为有影响。
