SCHULTZ, Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : 102200 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Praxis  Motor skills  Nonverbal communication  Imitation  Adaptive behavior skills Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Difficulties with praxis, the ability to perform learned skilled movements, have been robustly demonstrated in autism spectrum disorder (autism). However, praxis assessment is not routinely included in autism characterization batteries, in part because it is traditionally time consuming to administer and score. We test whether dyspraxia in autism can be captured with a brief measure. Method Youth with autism (n = 41) and matched typically developing controls (n = 32), aged 8-16 years, completed a 5-min praxis battery. The 19-item battery included four subtests: gesture to command, tool use, familiar imitation, and meaningless imitation. Video recordings were coded for error types and compared to participant characterization variables. Results Consistent with research using a lengthy battery, autistic youth made more errors overall, with a large effect size. Groups demonstrated similar distributions of error types, suggesting that dyspraxia in autism is not limited to a particular error form. In the autism group, praxis was associated with adaptive functioning, but not autism traits. Conclusions A shortened battery is sufficiently sensitive to praxis differences between autistic and typically developing youth, increasing the feasibility of including praxis within clinical assessments or larger research batteries aimed at testing relationships with downstream skills.
