Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Epidemiology

Recording of participant's performance during eye, fine motor and gross motor tests Passing self and hetero questionnaires.

Group Type OTHER

Testing of general motor skills, fine motor skills and occulomotricity

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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.

Questionnaires

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
