Bimanual Reach to Grasp Movements in Youth With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder by Rachel A. Rodgers, Brittany G. Travers, Andrea H. Mason

“…Reaching and grasping (prehension) is one of the earliest developing motor skills in humans, but continued prehension development in childhood and adolescence enables the performance of increasingly complex manual tasks. In individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) atypical unimanual reaching and grasping has been reported, but to date, no studies have investigated discrete bimanual movements. …”

Developing an eye-tracking algorithm as a potential tool for early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder in children. by Natalia I Vargas-Cuentas, Avid Roman-Gonzalez, Robert H Gilman, Franklin Barrientos, James Ting, Daniela Hidalgo, Kelly Jensen, Mirko Zimic

“…The recorded video of the child´s eye movement was analyzed both manually by an observer and automatically by our algorithm.This study demonstrates that the algorithm correctly differentiates visual preference for either the left or right side of the screen (social or abstract scenes), identifies distractions, and maintains high accuracy compared to the manual classification. …”

Informative Biomarkers for Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data on the Default Mode Network by Aikaterini S. Karampasi, Antonis D. Savva, Vasileios Ch. Korfiatis, Ioannis Kakkos, George K. Matsopoulos

“…As such, machine learning methods have been consistently applied to facilitate diagnosis, although the scarcity of potent autism-related biomarkers is a bottleneck. More importantly, the variability of the imported attributes among different sites (e.g., acquisition parameters) and different individuals (e.g., demographics, movement, etc.) pose additional challenges, eluding adequate generalization and universal modeling. …”

“…AQ attention to detail subscale correlated positively with gray matter volume in the right pre- and postcentral gyrus. Conclusions We demonstrate that individuals with higher levels of autism-spectrum-like features show decreased white matter integrity in tracts associated with higher-level visual processing and increased cortical volume in areas linked to movement sequencing and working memory. …”
