Academic research done by Elizabeth Torres –
Autism: The Micromovement Perspective
A very quick summary- micromovements can be used to predict the intentionality of a person’s actions. By looking at micromovements it is possible to see how the peripheral nervous system interacts with the central nervous system. This is important as this interaction is what develops and maintains autonomy, self regulation and voluntary control. In this study, Dr Torres is suggesting that there are options to the current subjective diagnoses of ASD based upon subjective observations. Atypical micromovements can be used to identity ASD. ASD is a sensory processing disorder not an intellectual disorder. What she is hoping to do in the future is to use this information to design interventions unique to each person and adopt therapies that work with the person to their changing abilities as they progress.
