Brief Summary

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

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a diverse group of conditions. They are characterized by some degree of difficulty with social interaction, communication and behaviors. Kinesthetic awareness can be defined as how we sense our body and the way it moves. This person might have difficulty understanding where their body is in relation to other objects, thus appearing clumsy, knocking things over, dropping items or misjudging personal space and thus standing too close to others.
