New study to uncover Brain-Body link in kids with autism spectrum disorders
NCT ID NCT07503106
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how quickly children aged 3 to 6 with pervasive developmental disorders (like autism) react and move, compared to typically developing kids. Researchers will test 30 children using simple reaction time tasks and motor skill assessments. The goal is to understand the connection between thinking speed and physical abilities, which could help design better therapies.
