Discussion Stereotypies are “…patterned, repetitive, purposeless, involuntary movements that are also rhythmic and continual and tend to change little over time.” They occur at all times of the day, and can get worse with stress or heightened emotions including happiness. Stereotypies more often occur in children with developmental disabilities (up to 61%), sensory impairments (e.g. blindness) or social deprivation. They can be present more often in patients with autism (up to 88%). They can be seen in ~7% of normally developing children too. Their onset is before age 3 years and tend to improve over year...
