dc.description.abstractAims: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may exhibit early motordelay, and long-term motor impairments in addition to social andcommunicative problems. This pilot study aimed to describe (i) theearly motor repertoire using General Movements Assessment (GMA)of infants later diagnosed with ASD, (ii) the developmental outcomesin these children between 24- and 42-months, and (iii) the relation-ship between GMA and developmental outcomes.Methods: Ten children diagnosed with ASD were included. Allinfants were assessed using Motor Optimality Score for 3- to 5-month-old Infants–Revised score sheet for GMA, and the BayleyScales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (Bayley-III)for developmental functioning aged between 24- and 42-months.Results: The median Motor Optimality Score-Revised (MOS-R) was 10(range: 6–28), considered reduced optimal, and 80% of children hadless than optimal MOS-R. 60% of the children had aberrant fidgetymovements and abnormal postural patterns, and 80% had abnormalbut not cramped-synchronized movement character. The mean com-posite scores of all subdomains in Bayley-III were below 69(extremely low) in all children.Conclusions: This study highlighted the importance of early motorrepertoire and longitudinal developmental assessments in childrenwith ASD. Further research is needed to explore the potential of thisassessment as a screening tool.
