大多数美国儿童神经科医生忽略自闭症儿童的运动障碍,尽管这些障碍影响高达87%。 Most U.S. child neurologists miss motor impairments in autistic children, despite them affecting up to 87%.

一项新的研究发现,大多数美国儿童神经科医生忽视了运动缺陷——一种常见的和有充分证据的自闭症症状——而不顾高达87%的自闭症儿童。 A new study finds that most U.S. child neurologists overlook motor impairments—a common and well-documented autism symptom—despite affecting up to 87% of autistic children. 接受调查的专家中,只有36%正确地将发动机赤字确定为主要的自闭症特征,许多人由于时间、培训和行为障碍而低估了这种缺陷的流行程度。 Only 36% of surveyed specialists correctly identified motor deficits as a key autism feature, and many underestimated their prevalence due to time, training, and behavioral barriers. 没有治疗的运动问题会阻碍发育,探索,语言和社交技能. Untreated motor issues can hinder development, exploration, language, and social skills. 专家们敦促提供更好的医疗培训、无障碍的筛查工具和护理者投入,以改进检测并确保全面的自闭症评估。 Experts urge better medical training, accessible screening tools, and caregiver input to improve detection and ensure comprehensive autism evaluations.
