- Abstract
Persons with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently have graphomotor problems. These difficulties in turn have repercussions on numerous tasks, on academic performance and on personal development. In this situation, writing using a keyboard can be a relevant alternative. This study aims to describe the performance of children with an ASD in performing tasks using a computer keyboard and to compare it with that of children whose development is typical. The Performance using a computer test was administered to a sample of 53 children with an ASD, aged 6 to 15. Findings suggest that they can offer an equal, superior or inferior performance depending on their characteristics and on the type of task performed. The test also allows the observation of several characteristics in their learning processes. Suggestions for the improvement of the knowledge base and practices follow.
