It is also known that these brain differences develop during the neurodevelopmental process, which occurs differently in ASD individuals. The particularities of their nervous system, however, vary from one person to another since different areas of the brain are affected at different levels. These elements are consistent with the clinical picture observed: significant variability and various associated conditions among persons with ASD. The single motor abnormality currently included in the diagnostic criteria for ASD is stereotyped repetitive behaviours. However physical impairments commonly observed in ASD children and adults are not limited to motor stereotypes. It is now recognized that over 80% of ASD individuals exhibit various types of sensory-motor disturbance to different degrees: d...
