Summary

This research is a case-control study aiming to characterize motor peculiarities (objective quantitative and qualitative measures) and its psycho-physiological correlates of children with ASD.

Detailed description

The main objective is to measure jointly and in an automated and standardized manner the performance and motor patterns within the framework of tasks measuring the performance and patterns of general motor skills (postures, walking, coordination overall), fine motor skills (graphics, pointing task) and oculomotricity (visual orientation and control). The secondary objective is to investigate the relationships between motor difficulties and cognitive and social disorders found in children with ASD. * Compare the motor performance data in the 3 major motor domains with each other (overall, fine and oculomotor); * Evaluate intergroup differences based on clinical characteristics (ADOS-2, ADI-R, CARS 2 scores), age, IQ, socio-communication profile score (SRS-2) and presence comorbidities (TADH, TDC).

Conditions

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Testing of general motor skills, fine motor skills and occulomotricity	Recording of participant's performance during eye, fine motor and gross motor tests; Children's gross motor skills will be assessed through a biomechanical analysis. Eye movements will be recorded using the eye-tracking system (Tobii Pro TX300). The technique used is the corneal reflection technique.
BEHAVIORAL	Questionnaires	Passing self and hetero questionnaires.
