Handedness in autistic children.

K M Colby, C Parkison

    Journal of Autism and Childhood Schizophrenia
    |March 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Autistic children show significantly higher rates of non-right-handedness compared to typically developing children. This finding suggests a potential link between atypical handedness and the underlying causes of autism spectrum disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurodevelopmental Disorders
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Human Genetics

    Background:

    • Handedness is typically lateralized to the right hemisphere in most individuals.
    • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social and communication deficits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate differences in handedness patterns between autistic children and typically developing children.
    • To explore the potential implications of handedness variations for understanding the etiology of autism.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study assessing handedness in a sample of 20 autistic children and 25 control children.
    • Analysis of the frequency of non-right-handedness (left-handedness and ambidexterity) in both groups.

    Main Results:

    • A significantly higher prevalence of non-right-handedness was observed in autistic children (65%) compared to normal children (12%).
    • This marked difference highlights a strong association between atypical handedness and autism spectrum disorder.

    Conclusions:

    • Atypical handedness is a common characteristic in individuals with autism spectrum disorder.
    • The observed differences in handedness may offer insights into the neurobiological underpinnings and developmental pathways of autism.
