Baby and Infant Screen for Children With Autism Traits (Biscuit) Author

Background

While social harm is considered to be the core deficit in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a large proportion of these children have poor gross motor power, and gross motor deficits may influence socialization skills in children with ASD. The objectives of this report were to compare gross motor skills in children with ASD to typically developing children, to depict gross motor issues in children with ASD, and to investigate associations between gross motor and socialization skills in children with ASD.

Methods

This was a cantankerous-sectional study including twoscore ASD children aged from 18 months to vi years and 40 age-matched typically developing controls. Gross motor and socialization skills were scored using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 2^nd edition (Vineland-Ii).

Results

Below average gross motor office was found in eight of 40 (20%) ASD children. The mean gross motor 5-calibration score in the ASD group was xv.1 [standard divergence (SD) 3.12], significantly lower than in the control group [18.7, SD 2.09, p = 0.0001; 95% conviction intervals (CI) from −4.725 to −ii.525]. The differences were near prominent in ball throwing and catching, using stairs, jumping, and bicycling. The ASD children with gross motor impairments had a mean socialization domain score of 66.half dozen (SD 6.fifty) compared to 85.seven (SD 10.xc) in those without gross motor impairments (p = 0.0001, 95% CI from −25.327 to −12.736).

Determination

Children with ASD had lower gross motor skills compared to typically developing children. Gross motor impairments were establish in 20% of the ASD children, and these children also had lower socialization skills than those without gross motor impairments.

1. Introduction

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication skills, as well as limited and repetitive play.

Epidemiological studies have reported varying prevalence rates in children aged 3–10 years. In New Jersey in the United States, a prevalence of four in 1000 children was reported in 2003,

and the Centers for Illness Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a prevalence of 11.3 per k children in 2008.

Furthermore, these children have been reported to have difficulties in initiating and maintaining social interactions with their peers due to a lack of feel and understanding of socioemotional aspects.

Children with ASD often take motor impairments which can accept the form of a gross and fine motor coordination disorder,

However, not all clinicians put social and motor damage as a top priority in the direction of ASD.

It has also been shown in split studies that both socioemotional skills in children with ASD and gross motor evolution are socioculturally influenced. In a study comparing the motor development of infants in Ghana, China, and infants of African-American ethnicity in the United states, information technology was found that gross motor scores were significantly higher in the Ghanaian infants than in their Chinese and African-American counterparts.

Their study compared Italian to Cuban children anile 4–11 years with ASD in the ability to recognize their own and others' emotions and the ability to attribute mental states to others (i.e., theory of mind). The Italian children were found to be superior to the Cuban children both in emotion comprehension and theory of mind tests. The Italian children were also found to take quantitatively larger social networks compared to the Cuban children, however, these networks were largely made up of the technical and professional figures involved in the direction of their ASD (e.g., therapists, pediatricians), while the Cuban children'south smaller social networks consisted more of family and close relatives with multifunctional roles in the care of the child.

To the best of our knowledge, differences across cultures in the gross motor power of children with ASD and the relationship to socialization skills have not previously been described. Therefore, we believe that studying the gross motor profile of Indonesian children with ASD, equally well as the association with socialization skills, will be a valuable contribution to this cross-cultural give-and-take.

The Vineland-2 instrument has been shown to exist a reliable tool for measuring gross motor ability and social-personal skills, and it has been used in individuals anile 0–xc years with disabilities, including children with ASD. In Vineland-II, parents are considered to be the most appropriate resources to assess a child'south best ability, so that the kid'southward performance at the time of testing is not the sole determinant of their highest attainable score.

This study aimed to compare gross motor skills in children with ASD to those of typically developing children, to describe gross motor problems in ASD, and to identify associations between gross motor and socialization skills in children with ASD.

2. Methods

This was a cantankerous-sectional study including children aged from xviii months to 6 years. We consecutively recruited forty children with ASD and forty age-matched (± iii months) controls. All participants had to be able to sit and walk without support. Children in the ASD grouping met the diagnostic criteria for ASD based on The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5^th edition (DSM-5)

and were recruited from Klinik Anakku Kelapa Gading and Klinik Anakku Cheque My Child Kayu Putih, Dki jakarta, Indonesia. The clinical diagnosis of ASD was established by an experienced clinician (H.D.P.). Children who had received sensory integration therapy for > 3 months inside the past 6 months and children whose parents refused to participate were excluded from the study. The control group consisted of children without ASD from Adik Irma Kindergarten, Jakarta, Indonesia and Cipto Mangunkusumo Infirmary, Jakarta, Republic of indonesia. Children with speech delay, hearing impairment, or intellectual disability, and children whose parents refused to participate were excluded. The minimum required sample size in each group was 34, calculated based on an α of 0.05, a power of 80%, a standard deviation of the Vineland-2 domain score of 15,⁶ an expected clinical departure of 12, and a prevalence of gross motor impairments in the children with ASD of 59%.

Gross motor and socialization skills were measured using Vineland-Ii, which was administered in the class of a structured interview by a trained interviewer (P.E.) to minimize recollect bias. Of the four domains in Vineland-II (communication, daily living skills, socialization, and motor skills), we measured merely the gross motor subdomain and the socialization domain. In the gross motor subdomain, Vineland-II measures 13 clusters including sitting, outset mobility, kickoff to stand up and walk, throwing a ball, climbing, running, using stairs, jumping/hopping/skipping, walking places, catching a ball, riding a tricycle or bicycle, lifting and carrying, and stamina. All parents were interviewed by the same interviewer and were asked to assign a score of four (almost always), 3 (often), ii (sometimes), 1 (seldom), or 0 (never) to questions request whether the child was able to do a specified activeness without assistance or reminder.

The raw score of each subdomain was converted to a subdomain v-scale score (mean 15, SD 3) and domain standard score (mean 100, SD 15). Socialization domain standard scores were categorized into depression (≤ 70), moderately low (71–85), adequate (86–114), moderately high (115–129), and high (≥ 130). Gross motor subdomain v-calibration scores were categorized into low (≤ 9), moderately depression (x–12), acceptable (xiii–17), moderately high (18–twenty), and high (≥ 21). For purposes of analysis in this study, gross motor v-scale scores were further differentiated into two subgroups: below average a score ≤ 12 and average or above average for a score > 12. Nosotros used this classification to compare socialization skills in the ASD children with and without gross motor impairments.

All parents of the eligible children were informed of the objectives, benefits, and procedures of the study, and nosotros obtained written consent from those who agreed to participate. Baseline data regarding sex, age at diagnosis of ASD, and type of ASD based on DSM-IV TR²¹ were obtained through interviews with the parents. We direct measured the child'due south body weight, pinnacle, and torso mass index, and determined nutritional status based on the WHO 2005 Child Growth Standards for children ≤ v years onetime and the CDC 2000 growth curve for children > 5 years one-time.

Data analysis was done using SPSS version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, The states). A p value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Ethical approval for this written report was obtained from the Medical Enquiry Ethics Committee of Universitas Indonesia Medical School, Dki jakarta, Republic of indonesia.

3. Results

The study was conducted from August 2013 to September 2013, and included 40 children with ASD and 40 age-matched controls. The median age of the participants was 2.9 years (range, ane.5–6.iv years). There was a predominance of male person individuals (80%) in the ASD group. 1 participant in the control grouping was born at 36 weeks of gestation, whereas all participants in the ASD grouping were born at term.

Using the DSM-IV TR subtypes of ASD, Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) was the virtually common diagnosis (65%), followed past autistic disorder (12%) and Asperger'due south syndrome (five%). Overall, 77.5% of the participants were diagnosed at < 3 years of historic period.

Gross motor impairments were found in eight of xl (xx%) children with ASD. Two children aged 3.vii years and six years with autistic disorder had depression gross motor v-calibration scores, and two children with autistic disorder and 4 children with PDD-NOS had moderately depression scores; all of these children were younger than iii years. Ix of 40 (22.five%) children with ASD had moderately high gross motor ability. In the control group, most children had adequate (32.v%) or moderately high (52.5%) gross motor ability, and no private showed a below-average gross motor score.

The hateful five-scale score was thirteen.seven (SD 3.82) in the children with autistic disorder, fourteen.5 (SD 0.71) in the children with Asperger's disorder, and xv.8 (SD 2.73) in the children with PDD-NOS. The overall hateful v-calibration score was xv.one (SD iii.12) in the ASD grouping and 18.7 (SD ii.09) in the control group (p = 0.0001; 95% confidence interval from −4.725 to −ii.525).

With regards to historic period, the controls had higher mean v-scale scores than their ASD counterparts in all age groups (Table ii). The smallest mean difference in v-scale scores was institute at 1–2 years of historic period (2.half dozen points), and the largest difference was plant at vi years of age (8 points). The hateful v-scale score was significantly lower in the ASD grouping than in the control grouping at 1–2 years of age (16.8 vs. 19.4; p = 0.0001) and 3 years (13.four vs 18.2; p = 0.014).

Compared to the controls, the children with ASD showed a delayed ability in object manipulation. Almost all of the children anile 1–3 years in the command group were able to roll a ball while sitting on the floor or ground, throw a ball, and kick a brawl, whereas in the ASD group merely 19 of 33 children were able to curl a ball while sitting on the floor, twenty/33 were able to throw a ball, and 17 of 33 children were able to kick a ball. In addition, the children in the ASD grouping tended to have difficulties in using stairs. All children aged 3–6 years in the control group were able to walk up and down stairs using alternating anxiety, while in the ASD grouping, at the same age but 14 of 16 children were able to walk up stairs and only 8 of 16 children were able to walk down stairs using alternating feet. There was also a difference in the ability to hop upwards and forward on one foot, with merely five of 40 (12.5%) children with ASD beingness able to hop on one foot without falling over. Standing on one foot was also a problem in the ASD group, with only six of xl (15%) children being able to exercise so. The ability to take hold of a brawl in the control group appeared to ameliorate with age; at 5–half-dozen years of age, all of the controls were able to catch a minor or large ball from a distance of at to the lowest degree two m. At the same age, just 5 of 40 (12.five%) children with ASD were able to catch a pocket-size ball from a altitude of 0.5–1 k and but eight of xl (20%) children with ASD were able to catch a large ball from a distance of at to the lowest degree ii m. All of the children anile iii years in the control group were able to ride a tricycle, an ability mastered past simply two of ix children in the ASD grouping.

In the ASD grouping, all children with below-average gross motor skills had low (five/8) or moderately low (3/eight) socialization skills. One-half (16/32) of the children with average or above average gross motor skills had adequate socialization skills, while 13 of 32 children and three of 32 children had moderately low and low socialization skills, respectively. The children in the ASD group with gross motor impairment had lower socialization skills, domain standard scores, and subdomain v-scale scores than those without gross motor impairments (Table iv).

4. Discussion

This study is the start in Indonesia to compare gross motor skills in children with ASD to those in typically developing children using Vineland-Ii. We enrolled children younger than 6 years of age as the study cohort to correspond the catamenia in life during which gross motor impairment should exist identified to enable timely interventions. Our results showed poor gross motor skills in children with Asperger'southward disorder, as listed in DSM-IV TR,

and also in those with autistic disorder and PDD-NOS. The lack of directly observations of the individuals' gross motor power is a potential limitation of this study, since the accurateness of Vineland-II is highly dependent on the honesty and objectivity of the parents.

The study accomplice included 40 children with ASD and 40 controls with a male person-to-female ratio of 4:1 and 1:1 in the ASD group and in the command grouping, respectively. This limerick reflects that found in the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, in which amid 3–17-yr-old children with ASD, 79% were male and 21% were female person,

The diagnosis of ASD in this study was made based on the DSM-5 criteria through history taking and clinical evaluation by one of the investigators who was a clinician experienced in ASD. The reliability of the clinical diagnosis of ASD based on the DSM-4 has been reported, with all children diagnosed with ASD at 20 months of historic period retaining the diagnosis at 42 months.

After consolidating Asperger's disorder and PDD-NOS into one ASD category, another study reported that 80% retained their diagnosis.

We chose to apply a clinical diagnosis instead of formal tools such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule or the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised considering their concordance with DSM-five has non been studied, and Indonesian translations take not been validated.

Prematurity has been identified to be a risk factor for a delay in motor skills in children with ASD. Movsas and Paneth

reported that out of 4188 ASD children, 66.3% and 55% of those born at < 34 weeks' and 34–36 weeks' gestation, respectively, had a filibuster in motor skills compared to merely 44.2% of children born at term. In the present study, merely one individual in the control grouping had a history of prematurity. Therefore, premature birth was not a confounding factor for gross motor skill score in our participants.

In the nowadays report, the children with ASD had subpar gross motor skills compared to the controls. This finding is consistent with a previous study by Perry et al,

Gross motor impairments become increasingly prominent with age, which explains the greater prevalence in older age groups. A similar trend was observed in the nowadays study (Table 2). The difference in v-scale scores between the ASD and control groups was most marked at 6 years of age (8 points), with the smallest difference at 18 months to 2 years of age (2.6 points). All individuals with below-average gross motor skills (viii in the ASD group) were > 3 years old. Other studies past Perry et al

also reported a negative correlation betwixt age and Vineland standard scores. In children with ASD, the rate of motor development is slower than the increase in historic period, such that the difference betwixt the child'south actual score and the age-specific expected score widens with time. This is specially true given the practise-dependent nature of the conquering of gross motor skills, peculiarly in object control (east.g., throwing or boot a ball).

Children with gross motor deficits tend to be reluctant to practice these skills.

Another cistron which may contribute to the departure in the prevalence of gross motor impairments between studies is the instrument used to measure gross motor ability. Dewey et al

observed that the gross motor scores of ASD children were higher when measured using Vineland-Two than Bayley-III, an instrument requiring instruction and straight observation of the child. Due to their poor comprehension of instructions, children with ASD tend to perform below their actual ability when assessed using didactics-based instruments. We consider this to be a strength of the Vineland-Two musical instrument.

Each developmental instrument has its own scoring focus. Vineland-II divides gross motor skills into several clusters: sitting, beginning mobility, offset to stand and walk, throwing a ball, climbing, running, using stairs, jumping/hopping/skipping, walking places, catching a ball, riding a tricycle or wheel, lifting and carrying, and stamina. If the same participants in the electric current study were measured using instruments such every bit the BOT or MABC, we would probable have found a higher prevalence of gross motor impairments because the Vineland-2 clusters most affected in ASD children are given greater weight in the scoring of both the BOT and MABC. In our ASD group, depression scores in throwing and catching a ball, jumping, using stairs, and riding a tricycle or wheel were partially compensated past boilerplate or high scores in other clusters including walking places, lifting and carrying, and stamina.

Nine of our ASD group had moderately high gross motor skills. This may exist due to a trend of the parents to overestimate their kid's ability or due to the individuals' motor skills not being college per se, but different from their peers. A child with ASD may be able to run fast with splendid stamina simply unable to throw or boot a brawl well, resulting in a compensatory effect as described to a higher place, such that their total gross motor subdomain score remains adequate or even moderately loftier.

Developmental disorders can manifest as delays or deviance/deficits, both of which may exist seen in children with ASD.

Poorer gross motor skills were observed in the ASD group compared to the control group, especially in throwing a ball, using stairs, jumping/hopping/skipping, catching a ball, and riding a tricycle or bicycle. This finding is in accordance with studies in ASD children past Staples and Reid,

Children with ASD ordinarily accept trouble with movements which need postural control, bilateral coordination, or upper-lower body coordination, such as jumping forward and controlling speed and direction when throwing or kick a brawl.

Although we found low socialization scores in the children with ASD who had poor gross motor skills, we did not find an independent clan between gross motor impairments and socialization skills. However, a previous study by MacDonald

In both studies, confounding factors were controlled in the statistical analysis, with male gender being a risk factor for lower socialization skills. In the present study, we did non account for several potential confounding factors such equally gender, cognitive level, and severity of ASD.

Both socialization skills and learning gross motor skills are facilitated by the mirror neuron system, a group of neurons located in the prefrontal gyrus and junior parietal lobes activated during observation of the deportment of another private and when imitating that action. This system as well aids in agreement the thoughts, intentions, and emotions between the observed activity or behavior, by creating an internal simulation and mapping it to the observer's own motor representations in the corresponding brain region. Failure in the activation of the mirror neuron system has been demonstrated in children with ASD, and the severity of mirror neuron system dysfunction has been shown to be correlated with the severity of autism symptoms.

This may explain the association between gross motor ability and socialization skills in children with ASD, as these children have difficulty understanding emotions and intentions behind the behavior of others, keeping them in internal retentivity and imitating them in existent actions.

We suggest that the presence of gross motor deficits may reduce the diverseness of play activities in which the kid engages and contributes to a depression self-esteem, which then adversely affects opportunities for socialization.

The present report does not conclusively demonstrate that motor impairment tin can predict socialization skills in children with ASD, but supports the view that the pathology of ASD includes extensive brain dysfunction.

We also found that dumb motor skills may exist a part of the restricted behavioral patterns constitute in children with ASD. Based on our results, we suggest the addition of gross motor power as a domain which should be evaluated in the initial assessment of children with (suspected) ASD.

5. Conclusion

Children with ASD have subpar gross motor skills compared to typically developing children. Twenty percent of children with ASD have gross motor impairments, primarily affecting skills requiring circuitous coordination. There is a trend toward lower socialization skills among children with ASD who have gross motor impairments.

Farther enquiry is needed to investigate whether there is an contained association between gross motor and socialization skills in children with ASD taking into business relationship potential confounding factors such as gender, cognitive function, and severity of ASD. Gross motor ability should exist assessed in children with ASD earlier they starting time handling programs, and then that the plan can be tailored to and geared at improving their motor skills.
