The relationship between motor skills and social communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Children with autism often experience motor skill challenges that continue into their school years. While interventions primarily focus on improving social communication skills, this study aimed to investigate the connection between motor skills and social abilities in children aged 6 to 15 with high-functioning autism. The results suggest that children with better object control skills tend to have less severe autism symptoms, indicating a potential link between motor skills and social communication. Further research is needed to understand this relationship in more detail. Children with autism often experience motor skill challenges that continue into their school years.
