  • Title: Hammering that Nail: Varied Praxis Motor Skills in Younger Autistic Children.
    Author: Crucitti J, Hyde C, Stokes MA.
    Journal: J Autism Dev Disord; 2020 Sep; 50(9):3253-3262. PubMed ID: 31297643.
    Abstract:
    Previous studies measuring praxis abilities in young autistic children have only used praxis measures that were not optimised for autistic individuals. Hence, we used the FAB-R to measure praxis skills in autistic (n = 38) and typically developing (TD) children (n = 38) aged between four and 10 years. Praxis abilities were generally not different between autistic and TD children. However, total dyspraxia and errors during verbal command and tool use were impaired in autistic children from a specialist autistic school (SAS). In contrast, autistic participants from the GC typically did not differ in praxis performance compared to controls. Hence, praxis abilities significantly vary between autistic younger children. Exploring mediating influences of such variability is imperative.
