The aim of the current study was to test whether gross motor abilities, specifically the onset of walking, predicted the subsequent rate of language development in a large cohort of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). <jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold>: We ran growth curve models for expressive and receptive language measured at 2, 3, 5 and 9 years in 209 autistic children. Measures of gross motor, visual reception and autism symptoms were collected at the 2 year visit. In Model 1, walking onset was included as a predictor of the slope of language development. Model 2 included a measure of non\u2010verbal IQ and autism symptom severity as covariates. The final model, Model 3, additionally covaried for gross motor ability. <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>: In the first model, parent\u2010reported age of walking onset significantly predicted the subsequent rate of language development although the relationship became non\u2010significant when gross motor skill, non\u2010verbal ability and autism severity scores were included (Models 2 &amp; 3). Gross motor score, however, did remain a significant predictor of both expressive and receptive language development. <jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>: Taken together, the model results provide some evidence that early motor abilities in young children with ASD can have longitudinal cross\u2010domain influences, potentially contributing, in part, to the linguistic difficulties that characterise ASD. <jats:bold><jats:italic>Autism Res<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold> <jats:italic>2016, 9: 993\u20131001<\/jats:italic>. \u00a9 2015 The Authors Autism Research published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of International Society for Autism Research<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/aur.1587","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,22]],"date-time":"2015-12-22T12:54:02Z","timestamp":1450788842000},"page":"993-1001","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":163,"title":["Early gross motor skills predict the subsequent development of language in children with autism spectrum disorder"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Rachael","family":"Bedford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics Department Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Pickles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics Department Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine","family":"Lord","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry Center for Autism and the Developing Brain, Weill Cornell Medical College New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","volume-title":"Oxford Handbook of Developmental Psychology","author":"Adolph K.E.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-7687.2009.00924.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/014272378400501301"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","volume-title":"Bayley Scales of Infant Development\u20142nd edition","author":"Bayley N.","year":"1993"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/desc.12139"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-7687.2012.01160.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2522\/ptj.20100294"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-8624.1995.tb00886.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/S15327078IN0102_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1166214"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.2002.1199"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/136820310000104830"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.infbeh.2010.04.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jecp.2008.03.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1978.00500360001001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09541449108406220"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000028434"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Concurrent validity of the differential ability scales, with the Mullen Scales of Early Learning in young children with and without neurodevelopmental disorders","author":"Farmer C.","year":"2015","journal-title":"Child Neuropsychology"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","volume-title":"MacArthur communicative development inventories","author":"Fenson L.","year":"1993"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00221-010-2240-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.2007.01820.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1469-7610.00054"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2008.03242.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_26_1","volume-title":"Clinics in developmental medicine: Vol. 119.
