...Individuals with autism often have comorbid dyspraxia or other motor control difficulties (Fournier et al., 2010; Gowen and Hamilton, 2012), and these could be accounted for by difficulties in action chaining....

...Studies examining motor performance in ASC do not directly tap MNS function and have been examined elsewhere (Fournier et al., 2010; Gowen and Hamilton, 2012) so they were not included here....

...While it remains unclear how frontal lobe or motor specific GABA downregulation could manifest behaviorally, it is interesting to note that clear motor signs (both fine and gross motor deficits) have been consistently reported in children with ASD (see Gowen and Hamilton (2012) for a review)....

...There are few quantitative studies examining MSI in autistic individuals at present, but it appears that integration of visual and auditory signals presented at a similar time point is comparable between ASD and neurotypical participants (Williams et al. 2004a; van der Smagt et al. 2007)....
