“…Further, Miller et al (2021) reported that more than 90% of autistic children met the criteria for clinically significant motor difficulties on the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC‐2; Henderson et al, 2007), the gold‐standard standardized assessment of motor ability. Examining specific motor skills, researchers have measured differences in quiet standing (Lim et al, 2017), leaning (Miller et al, 2019; Wang et al, 2016), stepping (Bojanek et al, 2020), reaching (Glazebrook et al, 2006), grasping (Carment et al, 2020; Mosconi et al, 2015; Travers et al, 2017), catching (Chen et al, 2019), and tool use (Mostofsky et al, 2006). These motor difficulties are implicated in social, cognitive, and adaptive function and in turn, have implications for autistic children's quality of life and mental health (Tamplain & Miller, 2020).…”
