Repetitive Behavior
Basic Characteristics
- Description
Children with ASD may display repetitive or stereotyped behaviors. This is a wide ranging set of behaviors where one is excessively interested in a narrow scope of topics. People with ASD may have inflexible mannerisms and a preoccupation with parts of a whole, like how children with ASD may be more interested in the wheels of a toy car rather than the car as a whole. They may have strong desires to watch the same movie or read the same book over and over again.1
- Intervention
There are some medications that may help in reducing repetitive behaviors.
