Delays within the motor domain are often overlooked as an early surveillance marker for autism. The present study evaluated motor difficulties and its potential as an early predictive marker for later autism likelihood in a cohort of infants showing early behavioral signs of autism aged 9-14 months. The motor domain was evaluated using the motor subscales of the Mullen Scales of Early Learning at baseline, and at a 6-month follow-up.

We wanted to explore the quality of life of mothers of children with autism and intellectual disability and identify factors that impact their quality of life.
In this population-based cohort that included 2,084 children with autism aged ≤6 years, over one-third met the criteria for motor difficulties
Social attention can be acutely modified in children with ASD, with an increased tendency to orient attention toward faces after brief social attention training
