Motor deficits in childeren wiht developmental coordination disorder and autism: is brain cinnectivity the core problem?

The core problem of Childeren with 'developmental coordiantion' disorder is a motor disorder. however a considerably number of childeren with autism show very similar motor problems. both disorders are thought to involve disrupted connectivity between brain regions. this study investigates the association beween motor deficits and reduced integrity of brain connectivity and associated changes in brain activitation patterns.
