“…It should also be emphasized that the DCDQ-J scores were interrelated with the SRS scores, that is, the more severe the motor skill impairments, the more severe the social impairments. These results are in agreement with Hirata et al (2014) who used the MABC2-J for Japanese children with ASD. The DCDQ-2007 and the MABC2 are used worldwide as standard motor tests for identifying DCD.…”

“…From a neurological perspective (Hilton et al, 2007;von Hofsten & Rosander, 2012), comorbidity of motor skill impairments and social impairments in children with ASD indicates the possibility of a common brain dysfunction. Some authors have pointed out the possibility that cerebellar dysfunction could explain why individual differences in motor control were strongly interrelated with social impairments in children with ASD (Hirata et al, 2014;Papadopoulos et al, 2012). In current neuroscience studies, the cerebellum is considered to play an important role not only in the control of skilled movement but also in the individual's interaction with others in social settings (Ito, 2008;Vakalopoulos, 2013).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the Japanese version of the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-J) and the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) in Japanese children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The participants were 19 children with ASD. The DCDQ-J is a parent questionnaire that can assess the degree of motor skill impairments, and the SRS assesses the severity of social impairments. To check the criterion-related validity of the DCDQ-J in children with ASD, the Japanese version of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC2-J) was also conducted. The total score of the DCDQ-J was significantly negatively correlated with the SRS score in the same way as the MABC2-J total score. These results indicate that the severity of social impairments in children with ASD is related not only to the child's fundamental motor abilities but also to practical motor skills in everyday life.

“…Clinical data suggests that poor motor skills are associated with greater difficulties with social communication in children with ASD [Dziuk et al, ; Green et al, ; Hirata et al, ]. Studies found that severity of motor deficits in children with ASD correlates with language and communication impairments and severity of social abnormality [Landa, Haworth, & Nebel, ; Leonard, Bedford, Pickles, & Hill, ].…”

This study highlighted the specificity of motor impairment in ASD comparing performances on a frequently used measure of motor impairment between clinical groups (ASD + ID and ID) and a non-clinical group. While previous research has suggested that multiple deficits in motor functioning may be present in ASD, our findings suggest that deficits in tasks involving the ability to integrate visual and motor cues (aiming and catching task) are somewhat specific to ASD.

Social communication and motor skill deficits are prevalent characteristics of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This systematic research review investigates whether and how broad social skills and motor skills may be related among individuals with ASD. We performed a PubMed search of articles written in English, using these study inclusion criteria: (a) an association between social and motor and skills among individuals previously diagnosed with autism; (b) one or more social skills measures were used; and (c) one or more measures of gross or fine motor skills were used. We classified data into two categories, and we based the association of these variables on correlation coefficients, p-values, coefficients of determination, and authors' description of "may be associated" and "may not be associated." Despite heterogeneity among these relevant studies, a highly likely association between social and motor skills emerged. Of a total of 16 studies reviewed, 12 reported associations between these skill sets. Three studies reported that fine motor skills had a stronger relationship with social skills than did gross motor skills. Among the gross motor skills associated with social skills, object control skills seemed most closely linked to social skills. Among fine motor skills, manual dexterity seemed to most closely related to social skills.
