Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by differences in restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests or activities, and persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction. In addition to these core characteristics, it is well reported that autistic people show differences in sensorimotor functioning - such as gait, motor planning, and imitation. Whilst autistic people can imitate the goal of the action (e.g., to pick up a cup), it has been…
