N2 - Autism and Aspergers disorder (AD) are characterised by impairments in social interaction, stereotypic behaviours or restricted interests. Although currently listed as distinct clinical disorders, the validity of their distinction remains controversial. This study examined gait in children with autism and AD. Eleven children with highfunctioning autism and eleven children with AD completed a series of walking tasks.
