This investigation consists of an examination of the motor abilities of 13 children with autistic disorder and how these abilities are related to their language skills. Information on the children's gross and fine motor abilities was obtained by administering the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales. All of the children scored well below age-appropriate levels. Although all of the children evidenced serious delays or deficits in their gross and fine motor development, the children tended to do better on certain subscales (e.g., nonlocomotor actions, hand use) and more poorly on others (e.g., locomotor actions, grasping). Moreover, the children's standardized scores on the gross motor scale were significantly worse than their scores on the fine motor scale. The children's performance on the gross and fine motor scales was not consistently related to their chronological ages. Often the raw scores of the older children were slightly higher while their standardized scores were lower.

520 $a This investigation consists of an examination of the motor abilities of 13 children with autistic disorder and how these abilities are related to their language skills. Information on the children's gross and fine motor abilities was obtained by administering the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales. All of the children scored well below age-appropriate levels. Although all of the children evidenced serious delays or deficits in their gross and fine motor development, the children tended to do better on certain subscales (e.g., nonlocomotor actions, hand use) and more poorly on others (e.g., locomotor actions, grasping). Moreover, the children's standardized scores on the gross motor scale were significantly worse than their scores on the fine motor scale. The children's performance on the gross and fine motor scales was not consistently related to their chronological ages. Often the raw scores of the older children were slightly higher while their standardized scores were lower.
520 $a Information on the children's intentional motor movements was obtained through a series of tests of apraxia and of action or movement sequencing. The children's performance on all of these tests was highly intercorrelated and below that of normally-developing individuals. Furthermore, their performance on these motor tasks was not related to their chronological ages. On motor sequencing tasks, the children performed significantly worse on longer sequences than they did on shorter sequences. In addition, there was a positive relationship between the children's scores on these tests and spoken and signed language production. The number of word/sign items in the children's vocabularies was positively related to their scores on the apraxia, gestural imitation, and movement sequencing tests, but not to their scores on the fine motor scale.
520 $a The motor difficulties observed in the children with autism in this study lend support to the view that substantial motor deficits exist in these children. Furthermore, certain motor skills were found to be more delayed than others. Finally, it is suggested that motor difficulties be probed more thoroughly in future studies of children with autistic disorder.
