Autistic people often experiences differences in their movement and co-ordination including how they move, how much force they apply, and spatial awareness. This is often related to the person’s sensory processing and motor planning (how we plan our movements). Motor skills are split into Fine Motor (smaller movements in the hands and fingers) and Gross Motor (larger movements such as hopping, jumping and balancing).
Motor skills differences can impact on activities of daily living (such as dressing, using cutlery and recording work in school) and some Autistic people might need to learn skills in different ways or require support or adaptations to enable their independence.
