Autism motor skills under the microscope: new study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT05236803
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) move, including their fine motor skills, walking, and eye movements. Researchers will compare 55 children with ASD to 55 children without ASD, all aged 6 to 11. The goal is to identify specific motor patterns that may help improve future support and therapies.
