In: Conditions and Diseases, Autism, Aspergers Syndrome [Edit categories]

Answer:

Hypotonia is a term describing the condition of decreased muscle tone, also known as floppy infant syndrome. Some people with Asperger's Syndrome or autism have hypotonia. It is common for people with Asperger's Syndrome and autism to have some motor control or muscular difficulties, but not necessarily hypotonia. There are many conditions that can co-occur with hypotonia, such as Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral palsy.
