Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), are characterized by severe and debilitating symptoms including stereotypic behaviors. Stereotypies constitute core features of ASD and markedly impede attempts to remediate the disorder. Little previous research has examined characteristics of stereotypies in adults with ASD, or differentiated these behaviors as they present in ASD, from persons with intellectual disability (ID) only. In the present study 336 adults, those with ASD and ID versus ID alone were…

Stereotypies and repetitive/restrictive behaviours in infants with autism and pervasive developmental disorder
TLDR
Data suggest that many core features of ASD are distinct and can be reliably identified early in life, which could lead to earlier intervention practices and symptom alleviation for children in this population of infants.
Assessment of Rituals and Stereotypy
Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present with a “triad of impairments” that negatively affect social interaction and communication abilities and result in the presence of…

Stereotyped behaviours in children with autism spectrum disorders and atypical development as measured by the BPI-01
TLDR
It is suggested that stereotyped behaviours can be identified at very young ages, negatively affect the behavioural presentation of those with ASDs and should be considered when developing treatment plans.
