Abstract

Objective To investigate the motor function development in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), so as to provide clinical evidence for precise intervention for ASD children. Methods A total of 182 ASD children at developmental-behavioral pediatrics of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from March, 2017 to December, 2019 were included in this study.And their assessment results of motor function development were retrospectively analyzed. Results The motor function assessment revealed that the mean score of gross motor (GM) and fine motor (FM) and total motor (TM) was 69.9±13.7, 75.2±15.5, and 70.1±13.8, respectively. The rate of GM, FM and TM delays was 78.0%, 61.5% and 75.8%, respectively. There were significant positive correlations between motor function and intelligence in autism(r ranged from 0.018 to 0.672), the subscales of FM was the most highly correlated with intelligence. In addition, the grasping motor of FM in girls with ASD was superior to that in boys, and the grasping motor obviously lagging behind of children with ASD more than 3 years old. Conclusions ASD children have distinct motor development delays.Early assessment of motor function is urgently needed in ASD children to help make personalized intervention in clinical practice.
