Abstract

Recent work has focused on the value of assessing general movements (GM) in the early identification of the risk of autism spectrum disorder in infants. As illustrated by a clinical case and a review of the literature, atypicalities in GM - such as poor movements or reduced complexity and variability - reflect a bodily fragility that can complicate the baby's relational engagement. Very early intervention on these difficulties has shown a benefit in terms of the quality of interactions.

Keywords: autism; autisme; early intervention; general movements; intervention précoce; kinésithérapie; mobile team; mouvements généraux; perinatal care; physiotherapy; périnatalité; équipe mobile.
