Description
Maria Grazia Logrieco and co-authors published a developmental study in twenty twenty-four following gesture skills in preschoolers with autism over the year after diagnosis. Gestures support later speech and social communication, and delays are common in autism. The team tracked whether different interventions changed how children's gesturing grew.
Seventy-six Italian children aged two to four were followed, across three kinds of intervention or none. Parents reported gesture production on a standardized checklist. Every group gestured more after a year, whatever help they received. The authors suggest time, symptom severity, joint attention, and social interaction all feed nonverbal growth. The result tempers claims that any single program drives the change.
