Handwriting is linked to a variety of systems in the human brain and has been likewise demonstrated to be affected by a variety of neurological and developmental disorders. In this paper we provide a narrative review of recent findings regarding the quantitative evaluation of handwriting product in people with autism spectrum disorder. We summarize the experimental approaches and variables measured by most representative studies, such as handwriting speed and quality. We highlight the key issues such as small sample sizes resulting in underpowered designs. Lastly, we draw conclusions and delineate potential research directions, such as the use of machine learning to evaluate multivariate components of handwriting.
书写与人类大脑中的多种系统相关联，同样也已被证明会受到多种神经和发育障碍的影响。在本文中，我们对近期有关自闭症谱系障碍患者书写产物定量评估的研究结果进行了叙述性综述。我们总结了最具代表性研究采用的实验方法和测量变量，如书写速度和质量。我们强调了关键问题，如样本量小导致研究设计效能不足。最后，我们得出结论并勾勒出潜在的研究方向，如使用机器学习来评估书写的多变量成分。
