Autism in children affects not only social abilities, but also a broad range of sensory and motor skills

Autism in children affects not only social abilities, but also a broad range of sensory and motor skills: "This impaired connectivity suggests that autism is not simply a disorder of social and communicative abilities, but also affects a broad range of sensory and motor systems," Müller said.

Disturbances in the development of both the structure and function of the thalamus may play a role in the emergence of social and communicative impairments, which are among the most prominent and distressing symptoms of autism.
