Repetitive Behaviors
One of the cardinal behaviors in children with ASD is repetitive or obsessive routines. Autistic babies may line up objects in a particular order and become upset if they're moved. They may have unusual eating habits, demanding the same item for every meal or refusing to eat solid food.
Autistic babies, when they begin to communicate, may repeat the same word or phrase over and over. Or they may flap or spin their hands, rock their bodies or spin them.2‘Signs and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders.’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/signs.html
