Is clumsiness a marker for Asperger syndrome?
Open accessAbstract
ABSTRACT. Although Asperger syndrome (AS) has been included in the ICD‐10 as a distinct category within the pervasive developmental disorders, it is still unclear to what extent it differs from normal‐intelligence autism (high‐functioning autism; HFA). Persons with AS are said to be particularly clumsy. To test the hypothesis that clumsiness can reliably distinguish AS from autism, the present authors compared 11 patients with AS (ICD‐10; 10 males; mean age, 13–6 years; mean IQ, 98) with nine patients with HFA (ICD‐10/DSM‐III‐R; eight males; mean age, 12–9 years; mean IQ, 84). Clumsiness was assessed by the Bruininks‐Oseretsky test. Both groups showed problems with coordination and the distribution of standard scores was virtually identical. This suggests that motor clumsiness, as measured by tests of coordination, may not reliably distinguish AS from HFA. However, qualitative differences may occur between the two groups in the manner in which movements are performed. Further research with larger samples may elicit differences into the pattern of motor deficits that occur in autism and AS.

“In a review of over 40 publications on AS, Ghaziuddin et al. (1992b) could identify no more than four studies which specifically assessed and measured clumsiness.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
