Hassani, Fahimeh; Shahrbanian, Shahnaz; Shahidi, Seyed Houtan; Sheikh, Mahmoud – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by deficits in social communication, interaction, and stereotypical behaviours. Children with ASD have not enough opportunities to participate in physical activity (PA), which lead to increase fitness and health problem. The aim of this study was to compare two…

Umesawa, Yumi; Matsushima, Kanae; Atsumi, Takeshi; Kato, Toshihiro; Fukatsu, Reiko; Wada, Makoto; Ide, Masakazu – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Several motor disabilities accompanied with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are widely known despite limited reports of underlying neural mechanisms. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels in the motor-related cortical areas modulate several motor performances in healthy participants. We hypothesized that abnormal GABA concentrations in the primary…

Lindor, Ebony; Rinehart, Nicole; Fielding, Joanne – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Although most researchers agree that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) exhibit atypical attention, there is little consensus on the exact nature of their deficits. We explored whether attentional control in ASD varies as a function of motor proficiency. Nineteen children with ASD and 26 typically-developing controls completed the…

Howells, Katherine; Sivaratnam, Carmel; Lindor, Ebony; He, Jason; Hyde, Christian; McGillivray, Jane; Wilson, Rujuta B.; Rinehart, Nicole – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
This non-randomised pilot study evaluated the impact of a community football program on motor ability in children aged 5-12 years with autism spectrum disorder. Sixteen children were evaluated at baseline-and-post attendance in a football program for a varied number of weeks and compared to 19 children engaging in treatment-as-usual. Primary…

Begum Ali, Jannath; Charman, Tony; Johnson, Mark H.; Jones, Emily J. H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
We investigated infant's manual motor behaviour; specifically behaviours crossing the body midline. Infants at elevated likelihood of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) produced fewer manual behaviours that cross the midline compared to infants with a typical likelihood of developing these…

Bremer, Emily; Cairney, John – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of adaptive behavior on the pathways connecting motor competence, physical activity, and health-related fitness in 7-12 year old children with ASD (N = 27). Results demonstrate that motor competence and health-related fitness were positively related (r = 0.42, p < 0.05), and this…

Ansari, Soleyman; Hosseinkhanzadeh, Abbas Ali; AdibSaber, Fahimeh; Shojaei, Masoumeh; Daneshfar, Afkham – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The present study aimed to compare the effect of a land-based and a swimming-based exercise program on balance abilities in children with autism. Thirty children were voluntarily selected and randomly assigned to karate exercise, aquatic training and control groups. Participants practiced for 10 weeks, 2 sessions of 60 min per week. Before and…

Liu, Ting; Capistran, Jaclyn; ElGarhy, Sayed – Physical Educator, 2021
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by challenges with social communication and the display of restrictive and repetitive behaviors. Research has also shown that children with ASD are behind their typically developing peers in motor skill competence. However, limited studies have used the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2…

Reindal, Lise; Naerland, Terje; Weidle, Bernhard; Lydersen, Stian; Andreassen, Ole A.; Sund, Anne Mari – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Age of first walking (AOW) is reported to be later in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared with typical development. However, the relationship between AOW and variations in ASD symptoms across different neurodevelopmental disorders is largely unknown. This study investigated AOW and its association with autism symptom severity in a large sample…

Colombo-Dougovito, Andrew M.; Block, Martin E.; Zhang, Xiaoxia; Strehli, Ildiko – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
The purpose of this study is to understand the common accommodations used during standardized motor assessment of children on the autism spectrum. This study was completed in three parts: (1) a narrative review of the literature; (2) an open-ended survey sent to the first authors of the identified articles; and (3) a descriptive analysis of…

Sansi, Ahmet; Nalbant, Sibel; Ozer, Dilara – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
This study investigated the effects of an inclusive physical activity (IPA) program on the motor and social skills and attitudes of students with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study sample consisted of 45 ASD and typical development (TD) students aged between 6 and 11 years. The students were randomly divided into two groups: a…

Geurts, Hilde M.; McQuaid, Goldie A.; Begeer, Sander; Wallace, Gregory L. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Prior research suggests that autistic adults are at increased risk for developing the core motor components of Parkinson's disease (i.e. parkinsonism) although knowledge is limited to date. Therefore, we explore: (1) the prevalence of both continuous self-reported motor features typical of parkinsonism and the screen positivity rate for…

Morimoto, Chie; Hida, Eisuke; Shima, Keisuke; Okamura, Hitoshi – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
To identify a specific sensorimotor impairment feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we focused on temporal processing with millisecond accuracy. A synchronized finger-tapping task was used to characterize temporal processing in individuals with ASD as compared to typically developing (TD) individuals. We found that individuals with ASD…

Tyagi, Vernika; Juneja, Monica; Jain, Rahul – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Sleep problems were studied in both typically developing (TD) children and those with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children. Factors associated with these problems were also studied in children with ASD. Seventy-three children with ASD and their age and sex matched TD controls in age group of 3-12 years were…

Chetcuti, Lacey; Hudry, Kristelle; Grant, Megan; Vivanti, Giacomo – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
We examined the role of social motivation and motor execution factors in object-directed imitation difficulties in autism spectrum disorder. A series of to-be-imitated actions was presented to 35 children with autism spectrum disorder and 20 typically developing children on an Apple® iPad® by a "socially responsive" or "aloof"…
