Brief Summary:
The goal of this interventional study is to understand whether sensorimotor skills could represent an endophenotype for autism, i.e. a specific class of biomarkers that bridges the gap between biological components of a condition and the behavioral/clinical dimensions. Motor and sensory differences are often observed in people with autism and may appear early in development or be shared among family members.
The study will address three main questions:
* What are the developmental effects of early differences in motor and sensory skills?
* Are motor and sensory abilities influenced by family relationships?
* Can studying motor and sensory differences in autism help researchers better understand the biological mechanisms underlying the condition? This study is structured in three topic-oriented work packages (WPs): WP1, a longitudinal assessment of sensorimotor skills as early predictors of later social characteristics in a mixed sample of infant siblings of autistic children (at elevated likelihood of autism) or with typical familial likelihood (no first-degree relatives with autism) (Q1); WP2, a cross-sectional investigation of sensorimotor abilities in autistic children and their parents as compared with typically developing children and their parents (Q2); and WP3, a dense-phenotyping approach to establish, within individuals, associations between traits across behavioral, neural, and molecular levels.
