Abstract

At two previous ICDVRAT conferences (2018, 2022) the authors reported on the concept, and then development phase of a tangible toy that could be used to assist in the diagnosis of autism in pre-school children. Here, results of the first round of testing on the intended user group are reported. Results show variation between pre-school neurodivergent and neurotypical populations as predicted in terms of speed and accuracy of movement. Fine motor movement can be a potential biomarker for autism that would be less dependent on observational data, and more objective.
