Is my toddler losing balance linked to autism?

Autism and balance: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder. So some children with autism have too much or too little muscle tone. That may cause problems such as difficulty sitting in a chair. They can also have little spatial awareness, not being. Aware of exactly where their bodies are moving. An occupational therapist has solutions such as a weighted vest that can help.

Not necessarily: Refined cruising, walking and running are part of the progression to normal motor skills of kids.The early toddler period is marked by occasional falls as the kid tries to master the new skills. Autistic children may have problems in movement and balance like other kids but it is not a defining feature.
