People with autism may have trouble responding to movement and decreased balance (vestibular response) when compared to people without autism.
The vestibular system takes in information from the eyes, muscles, joints, skin, and brain. The vestibular response helps a person to stand upright, move his eyes, and move his body within the world. This study was designed to test vestibular response in people with autism. They found that while the vestibular response was poor in people with autism, it did improve with age. The authors believe that these study results can help in the design of better sensory integration therapy for people with autism.
