The role for context in motor development in autism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder with qualitative impairments in reciprocal social interaction and communication as well as a restricted range of interests and repetitive and stereotyped behaviors. Though specific motor impairments are not part of the diagnostic criteria, the displays of stereotyped motor behaviors are, such as hand or finger flapping and complex whole-body movements. Further, persons with autism show a different pattern of body postures and use of gestures for communication and in social interaction. Motor disturbances among persons with autism are an important clinical feature, though these, in light of the cognitive impairments, seldom are seen as primary.
