Autism traits and hand skills in children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how autism traits relate to fine motor skills (using hands for tasks) in children aged 8 to 12. It may help understand if improving hand skills could help children with autism.

This study looks at how social behaviors and brain connections develop in infants who have a higher or lower chance of developing autism. It helps doctors understand early signs and may lead to better support for children and families.
This study aims to better understand how motor skills (movement and coordination) work in children with autism spectrum disorder. It uses an assessment approach to help researchers understand what motor difficulties look like, which may improve future evaluations and support.
This trial tests a special motor training program for children with autism who have motor challenges. The training may help improve your child's coordination and movement skills.
This study looks at how motor skills (like catching, jumping) and sensory processing (how the brain handles sights, sounds, touch) are related in children with and without certain developmental differences. The goal is to better understand these connections to help support children's development.
This study looks at motor skills, balance, and social adaptation in children with autism. It aims to understand how these areas are connected and could help improve therapies.
This study looks at how well school-aged children perform fine motor tasks (like handwriting) to understand typical development. It does not test any medication or treatment, just observes children in a non-invasive way to learn more about normal fine motor skills.
