There's been some interest in whether the motor deficits commonly seen in autism are due to dyspraxia co-morbidity or whether autism has its own specific motor deficits. We'll be looking into developmental coordination disorder, which is the actual DSM-5 diagnosis for what many simply call "dyspraxia" and its relation with autism. We will go into apraxia or developmental dyspraxia in a different video.
