Layperson Summary:

Motor problems in children with autism are often ignored.

Most experts do not see children with autism as having motor problems. This study was designed to see to what extent children with autism also have motor problems. The 154 children in the study were at The Autism Center in New Jersey. About 10% of children in the study had gross motor delay. Motor problems were more common in younger children and tended to decrease as children aged.
