摘要：

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between motor skill and social impairment in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Methods: The subjects were 26 children with ASD aged 7-16 years. Their intelligence quotients (IQ) ranged from 73 to 124. We conducted two tasks: movement assessment battery for children-2 (MABC-2) and social responsiveness scale (SRS). The MABC-2 is a motor test that can assess total motor ability, and three sub-domain abilities. SRS is a parent questionnaire that can assess individual differences in social impairment. Results: In the children with ASD in this study, difficulty with manual dexterity was the most frequently occurring problem. Also, their individual differences in social impairment were strongly interrelated with problems with manual dexterity. Interpretation: These results suggest that when MABC-2 is administered to children with ASD but without severe cognitive impairment, due attention should be paid to their manual dexterity (MD) score.
