What this trial studies

This study aims to assess temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, cervical posture, balance, dual-task performance, and social adaptation skills in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Conducted at Bartın Lider Special Education and Rehabilitation Center, participants will be divided into two groups: those with ASD and a control group with typical motor development. Various assessment tools, including the Timed Up and Go test and the 10-Meter Walk Test, will be utilized to gather data on the participants' physical and social capabilities. The study seeks to fill a gap in the literature regarding the relationship between TMJ issues and social adaptation in individuals with ASD.
