Early motor function of children with autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review

Early motor impairments have been reported in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), but it is not clear if early detection of motor impairments can identify children at risk for NDD or how early such impairments might be detected. Our aim was to characterize early motor function in children later diagnosed with NDD relative to typically developing children or normative data.

Our aim was to characterize early motor function in children later diagnosed with NDD relative to typically developing children or normative data.
