Studies

The research itself, one paper at a time. Each record is auto-extracted from the paper's PubMed abstract and metadata, then explained in plain language — what kind of study it was, how many people took part, and what that means for how much weight to give it. These are not summaries written by us; they are the evidence base, shown at source.

  "My child before and now": parental perceptions of changes in functioning following participation in the global integration method (Método de Integração Global) in children with autism spectrum disorder

  The number of people who took part is not stated in this record, so the result cannot be judged on size.

• MotorObservational StudyTier 3 · Clinical consensus

  Comparing methods to measure wearable device adherence for physical activity monitoring for persons with autism: A prospective observational cohort study

  It involved only 27 people. Without random assignment, a group this small makes it especially easy for something other than what was studied to explain the difference researchers saw. Treat this as a very early signal rather than an answer.

• MotorRandomized Controlled TrialTier 2 · Research evidence

  Effects of VR-Based Serious Games on Gross Motor Skills in Chinese Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Special Education: A Pilot Study

  It involved 40 people — a modest group, enough to be interesting but not enough to settle a question on its own.
