Background It is unclear whether increased head circumference (HC) is actually an artifact of an overall overgrowth phenomenon or specific to the brain at all in autism spectrum disorders. This study compared the head circumferences, body weight and height of ASD children with a control group. We also discuss whether HC, body weight and height are correlated with development quotients in ASD children. Method We recruited 83 children with ASD (aged 2–5 years); they were gender and age matched to typically developing children in Chongqing (China) from 2013 to 2015. Their head circumference, body weight and height were collected. The ASD group was tested for the developmental quotient (DQ), which includes gross motor, fine motor, linguistic, personal-social and adaptive functioning. Results Our results showed that head circumference in the ASD group is significantly different from HC in the control group. The rate of macrocephaly was higher in the children with ASD compared with the control group. Some domains of DQ have statistically significant negative correlation with head circumference, weight and height. After adjusting for confounding factors, the fine motor was associated negatively with HC. Personal-social ability was associated negatively with weight. Gross motor was correlated negatively with the height. Conclusions Based on our results, we found significant HC differences in ASD group while lack of effect of either height or weight at the age of 2–5. HC, weight and height were separately negative correlated with some domains of development quotients. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between physical indicators and development level in autism. |
