This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand whether differences in movement and sensory skills could be early warning signs or markers of autism. This study will assess how children and parents move, respond to sensory input, and how genes may play a role. The goal is to figure out whether these motor and sensory differences might help doctors understand autism better.
Many people with autism show differences in how they move and sense the world around them, sometimes from infancy. Understanding whether these differences are connected to autism's underlying biology could help doctors identify autism earlier and develop better support strategies for affected children and families.

If you join, you and your child will visit the research center for assessments. These visits will include tests of thinking ability, movement skills using standardized tools, and video recordings of your child performing simple arm movements. You may also complete questionnaires about your child's motor skills. The study follows two paths: some families will be visited multiple times over months to track changes, while others will complete visits at set points in time.
